Trustees Report For the Period Ended 31 July 2023
Introduction
Dame Catherine Harpur’s School Limited is located in the school building situated in Rose lane, Ticknall, Derbyshire, DE73 7JW.
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 remaining stable at around 35-40 pupils each day, spread across Nursery, 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 and forest school activities as part of the curriculum.
The school has had a great deal of interest in the home-schooling and flexi schooling (Reduced timetable) sessions. There are long term home schoolers, attending throughout the year and others just staying for short blocks of time, but this has been a very popular way of introducing new children to the school, before they are accepted on to the flexi schooling (reduced timetable) sessions of 3 or 4 days per week attendance.
The school has home educated children attending 2 days per week, flexi schooled (Reduced timetabled) children attending 3 and 4 days per week and full time children attending 5 days per week.
The school has also continued with before and after school care for those working parents needing an extended school day for their children. Existing staff have shared the responsibility of staffing this between them.

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 an alternative Christmas Concert in the village hall, written by a member of staff, to which parents, Grandparents and the Local Community were invited.
Our successful nursery continues to flourish, all staff remain in post and 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 ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) did their first compliance visit in March 2023, with a fantastic result of ‘Compliant in all areas.’ This has provided the school with a welcome boost. They will return in 3 years time for a full inspection.
Parents and friends have provided a good commitment to fundraising for the school, with several events taking place, including our annual August Bank Holiday Art Exhibition, a May Day Fete involving the local community and a Christmas Market.
