SUPPORT ELLY IN RAISING FUNDS FOR E&C THIS HALF TERM 💜
DonateOur very own Dr Elly Barnes MBE, Founder and CEO of Educate & Celebrate is walking the Camino De Santiago this October to raise money to support the vital work we all do at E&C.
" This is a huge personal challenge to complete my first Camino De Santiago: 80km over 4 days at the end of October 21 to raise money for my big love in life, E&C. I've been in training for over a year now and have managed to accumulate several injuries alongside broken, black and disappearing toe nails; however I'm getting fitter, breathing easier, climbing epic mountains and generally getting stronger" Dr Elly Barnes MBE

PRIDE in Inclusion Award
Best Practice Schools
Hosted by our Founder and CEO Dr Elly Barnes MBE, our panellists are all experienced educationalists who lead the
PRIDE in Inclusion Award in their own schools. They will give open and honest testimonials of quick wins and strategies for long term sustainable change.
Thanks to John Lyon's Charity, we have funded places for schools in Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent, Westminster and Ealing.
"I have so much admiration for the important work that you do, and only wish it had been around when I was at school - but I am very happy that today's young people will hopefully be having more positive experiences as a result."
"I am just emailing to pass on my wholehearted support for the Educate and Celebrate curriculum program adopted by Chad Vale. As a parent at the school, I consider it to be the school's (and my own!) duty to prepare my children for life in an ever-changing, constantly diversifying 21st century Britain. I want my children, and their friends, to know that there is no such thing as 'normal' or 'right', and that to accept and value others who may appear to be different to oneself is an unquestioning attribute of a fair and just society." (YR/1 Parent)
