Colleagues from Learn Academies Trust (Learn-AT), an educational trust of 19 schools in the East Midlands, were honoured to visit Rainbows Hospice for Babies, Children and Young People recently, to present them with a cheque for £5945. After school council members across the Trust selected Rainbows Hospice to be their Charity of the Year, the campaign received overwhelming support from children, parents, staff and school community members. Numerous events have taken place over the last 12 months aiming to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause, including a 140km bike ride undertaken by the Trust Central Team, who cycled to all of the Trust schools in one day.

We're very proud of our SEND Chaplain Nadine Weedall, who recently presented at the Church of England's Conference for Diocesan Directors of Education. Nadine was invited to share her story of SEND Chaplaincy - what this could this look like and what impact it has,
She discussed how she started in the role with funding from a partnership with the Diocese of Leicester and how this links to the Church of England vision for education. By demonstrating the work she has been doing and the impact this is having, she inspired others to see what could be achieved together.
Please show your support for members of the Learn-AT central team, who will be running and riding 140km in one day to raise money for our charity of the year: Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People
Setting off from Bottesford CE Primary School at 7am on 23rd June, they will visit all 19 Trust schools, ending at Church Langton CE Primary School later that day.
