Leicestershire Parent Carer Forum is a voluntary group of enthusiastic, dedicated parents and family carers. Their aim is to work in partnership with everyone who can help improve the quality of life for children and young people. We offer support for parent and family carers in the Leicestershire area.
The Local Offer Roadshow aims to bring together information and services which support families of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) all in one place. The event is free to attend.
There will be representatives from Health, Charnwood Borough Council, Leicestershire County Council and many more.
A group of year 8 and 9 students had the opportunity to attend a workshop at De Montfort University. The workshop was organised and facilitated by the Transformation Trust in conjunction with Dell.
During the day, students were given a tour of De Montfort University to get an insight into university life. They also had an opportunity to experience using Virtual Reality (VR) Headsets and to try various different tasks.
On Monday 5th March 2018, staff and students left Limehurst Academy full of excitement on route to PGL’s Caythorpe Court site in Lincolnshire. From the outset it was obvious this was going to be a fun packed trip based on the energy echoing around the inside of the bus. On arrival at PGL we were greeted in the usual PGL style with our very helpful and enthusiastic group leader, Adam, welcoming us to Caythorpe Court.
We are extremely proud to share the fantastic news that students at Limehurst Academy have successfully reached Phase 3 of the Astro Pi challenge.
Limehurst has been given the fantastic opportunity to provide Maths and English mentors to some of our year ten students. The mentors are provided through Pathways, the group of universities working in Leicester, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland as part of the National Collaborative Outreach Programme. The partners involved offer activities, in collaboration with universities, school, colleges and training providers, to young people which help them to think about their future, encourage them to fulfil their potential and consider the options that are available to them which might include higher education.
The workshop was run by Loughborough University student Kathryn Brown, who is undertaking her Masters’ Degree in Civil Engineering. Engineering, in all its forms, is about problem solving; the students that attended this workshop were tasked with trying to build a stable structure that would withstand an earthquake.
