## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference Summary of the main Para 1.20 achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
This has been another difficult year for all connected with Highnam Under Fives. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact on the running of charity. The team has adapted well to the new normal with social distancing measures in place and PPE has been used by staff. A quality service has continued for pre-school pupils during the school day and the before and after school provision has returned with a slightly earlier start time of 7:45am.
The charity has continued to develop its resources to be able to provide an excellent provision for the pupils of Highnam and the surrounding area. Increasing our investment in the infrastructure has enabled us to have a fantastic provision and large outdoor area for pupil led play.
The team work hard to provide an inclusive and vibrant learning environment where all pupils are able to make sustained progress socially, academically, physically and emotionally.
Pre-school-aged children make good progress from their individual starting points. Children who attend the outof-school club enjoy the creative and play opportunities, where they make choices about where and what to play with.
The charity has ably supported a number of children with additional needs and this shows how inclusive
and caring the team is. The team have responded extremely well to the challenges faced during this year. Thank you to the team for all their hard work.
