Dame Catherine Harpur’s School Limited is a company limited by guarantee, number 4093636. The Charity, registered number 1084145, was incorporated on 22[nd] October 2000. ## **Objects and Policies** The school is open to all children of nursery and primary school age, regardless of gender, politics, race or religion, in small classes, focusing on individualism and creating the ‘all round child.’ ## **Review of the school’s development, activities and achievements** The school continues successfully, with numbers at around 35 - 40 pupils, spread across Preschool, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. As well as working alongside the National Curriculum, pupils have experienced a diverse range of activities in the last year. These have included - topic-based trips, multisports and forest school activities. The school has now developed forest school-based activities as part of the curriculum. The school has had a great deal of interest in the home-schooling and flexi schooling options. There are long term home schoolers, attending throughout the year and others just staying for short blocks of time, but his has been a very popular way of introducing new children to the school, as some have started with home school sessions and then moved on to be flexi or full time. Flexi schoolers are attending 3 or 4 days per week and are on roll at the school. The school has also continued with before and after school care for those working parents needing an extended school day for their _Proprietor: Dame Catherine’s School Foundation Head Teacher: Lorna Harvey Email: ofice@damecatherines.org Charity number 1090966 Charity No 1084145 www.damecatherines.org.uk_ _DCHS_ _Headteacher_ L O R N A H A R V E Y ROSE LANE, TICKNALL, DERBYSHIRE DE73 7JW.

The school continues to build their links with the local community by being involved in the local church harvest festival, and their Christmas tree displays. The school and nursery held a Christmas Play in the village hall, to which parents, Grandparents and the Local Community were invited. Our successful preschool continues to flourish, and all staff have been in training to further their professional development. The staff continue to provide a good education appropriate to each child’s needs, as well as welcoming volunteers and students into school to help with their careers. The school sadly lost long standing TA Tracey Savva, who left to support her husband’s business, but welcomed new HLTA Chris Wright in January 2020. TA Bria Adlington went on Maternity Leave in February 2020 and is due to return in 2021. With the unfortunate event of Covid-19 and Lockdown in March 2020, lessons continued daily online for most pupils. School opened to key worker and vulnerable children in June, whilst still continuing with online teaching for those pupils still at home. Finances were hit by no fundraising being able to take place during the pandemic, but two grants were secured to cover this from the Local and District Council. Parents and friends provided a good commitment to fundraising for the school before the pandemic, with several events taking place, including our annual August Bank Holiday Art Exhibition. ## **Committee and Management** The School Management Team (SMT) consists of 8 members, including the Head of Teaching.
