Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year has been a challenging period for PopSoc – the Covid 19 outbreak and guidelines meant that the club didn’t operate as normal through some parts of the year, with strictly limited numbers for holiday clubs, and class year group bubbles in operation. Many of the staff team were all enrolled on the government furlough scheme, where we able to claim 80% of their wages until Jan of 2021. The relationship with the school is still strong and we have worked closely with the Head teacher to ensure we are able to provide a safe and sanitised environment for all our team members and children.
From April 2021 we made good progress - the after-school club in particular, has been popular, and is operating at its maximum numbers on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We have explored gaining additional rooms or space for the club, but haven’t been able to secure anything at the moment. The children have a number of structured activities available to choose from, or they are able to do homework or have downtime and we consistently ask for their input and that of the parents into looking at additional things we can introduce to the club.
The breakfast club has been low on numbers as due to the pandemic; the Head Teacher had been opening the school doors at 08.30am to allow parents to drop off their children. This impacted on our income. Our breakfast club numbers are low – possibly due to larger numbers of people still working from home and able to be more flexible with school drop off times.
Within the holiday clubs, once the maximum limit of 15 children was relaxed, the children and staff have been enjoying a wide variety of activities, themed weeks with special days and visitors to the site looking at nature, different cultures, and the world around us. Day trips this year have been cancelled due to the Covid 19 restrictions.
Staff are actively encouraged to continue their professional development and attend courses to improve their skills and portfolio. All staff have an annual appraisal where their development needs are identified and addressed. We retain an Ofsted rating of “Good” which we gained in 2018, which reflects the hard work and dedication of the management team.
