Season's Greetings to our learners, parents, carers, colleagues, trustees, governors and all associated with Summit Learning Trust. A huge thank you to our learners, parents, carers, families and communities for supporting our academies to achieve so much this term and throughout this year. Wishing all a happy and restful festive break.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Summit Learning Trust for their amazing support not just this Christmas but throughout the year. The Summit Learning Trust have raised an incredible £12,000+ through many fundraising events throughout the year including their schools coming to our four hospitals to perform Christmas carols bringing a smile to the faces of patients and staff and spreading some much needed festive cheer. The schools from the Trust that have taken part this year have made a huge difference, not only by coming themselves and brightening peoples’ day, but the money that they have raised will also help us to make sure that patients and staff staying in hospital over Christmas don’t miss out and are still able to enjoy some of the festive spirit of the season. Vince Green, CEO of Summit Learning Trust, said: “The spirit of charity in our learners is really inspiring to see, and there are few more worthy causes than the University Hospitals Birmingham Charity. “I know that this money will make a huge difference to many in hospital this Christmas and we look forward to continuing to support our local charities for many years to come”. Thank You 💙
