This Easter 2026, along with his friend Edward, Connor will be taking on Hadrian’s Wall, which is 127 km/79 miles (the equivalent of three marathons back-to-back), in one continuous push.

As we reach the end of another busy and inspiring year, we’re excited to share some of the highlights, stories, and successes from across our community. From joyful classroom moments to creative fundraisers, it’s been a year of real highlights as we launched our childcare provision and specialist classes for Deaf refugees, two things in particular that we are immensely proud of. 

Recently, I was lucky enough to have the unique opportunity of doing one week of work experience with Hope English School. I was able to get involved with six classes that have varying levels of ability, circumstances and are at several different locations. This has given me a wide perspective of how the various students and teachers interact with each other and overcome language barriers to make social connections and establish a community.
