|Summary of the main
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.|Para 1.20|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.
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 out-
of-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.
A new interactive screen has been
installed for use at the setting – which
is used actively by pupils and staf.
The provision is well-used by pre-
school pupils and school pupils
accessing the before and after school
provision. The team receive positive
feedback from all stakeholders and
have a very good relationship with
Highnam Academy.
Thank you to the team for all their
hard work.|
