On Friday, the Media Team from Aletheia Academies Trust had the pleasure of attending the ellenor Bear Reveal Breakfast in the heart of Dartford.

The morning began with coffee, pastries, and a fantastic opportunity to connect with other local schools, community partners, and supporters before hearing speeches from Jon Quinn, Chief Executive of ellenor, Councillor Jeremy Kite, and Avtar Sandhu, Mayor of Dartford, who helped unveil the first sculpture on this year's Bear Trail.

We are incredibly proud that 14 schools across Aletheia Academies Trust have contributed to this wonderful community initiative by designing and decorating 14 Bear Cubs, which are now displayed at locations across Dartford and Bluewater as part of the trail.

This summer, there's a bear around every corner, go and see how many you can find!

The story's famous line, "We can't go over it, we can't go under it... we've got to go through it," perfectly reflects ellenor's mission of supporting children, adults, and families through some of life's most challenging moments.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this inspiring project to life. We encourage everyone to explore the trail this summer and discover the amazing creativity on display while supporting such an important local cause.

We’re thrilled to reveal where all of our participating schools’ bears are hiding across the community! If you’re looking for a fun summer adventure, why not head out on ellenor's bear hunt and see how many of our schools’ bears you can track down? It’s the perfect way to explore, get outdoors, and enjoy a little challenge along the way.

It was wonderful to see our Year 6 pupils come together at Rochester Cathedral for this year’s Leavers’ Service.

The afternoon was a special opportunity to celebrate, reflect on their time in primary school and share a moment of togetherness before they begin the next exciting chapter of their journey.

A special highlight of the service was an inspiring speech from our Trust CEO, Steve Carey.
He shared the stories of former Saint George's pupils, England footballer Marc Guehi and England rugby player Pierce Francis.

Steve spoke about how success comes from always trying your best, working hard and never giving up, even when things are difficult. The children listened carefully, and their faces lit up with excitement when Steve revealed a signed Marc Guehi shirt.

It was a memorable moment; his message encouraged our Year 6 pupils to believe in themselves, keep working towards their goals, and look to the future with confidence and ambition.

🍀💚 We wish all of our Year 6 pupils every success and happiness as they take their next steps.
