Alex had a great conversation this morning with Leigh and Sadie from St Mary's Hospice, they told us all about the amazing work that St Mary's do from the bereavement team, craft groups, support groups all the way to the Dementia team and the excellence the team brings to the events they put on, the groups they host and again the support they provide! Well done everyone at St Mary's and thank you for the outstanding work you all do 👏

📚 | HORNBY CALCULATOR CLUB LAUNCHES

We're proud to officially launch the Hornby Calculator Club, with the first batch of scientific calculators now delivered to Ulverston Victoria High School. 🙌

Funded by the Hornby Foundation, the initiative has been created to help ensure no pupil is disadvantaged in GCSE maths because they don't have access to the equipment they need. Schools taking part will receive a stock of calculators that can be loaned to pupils throughout the academic year, helping to remove a practical barrier to learning and exam preparation.

As a former pupil of UVHS himself, Paul Hornby was delighted to return to the school and see the project officially spring into action.

This latest initiative builds on our ongoing commitment to supporting young people and strengthening local communities, and we hope it will make a real difference to pupils across the region.
