Swiss Cottage School Charity (A company limited by Guarantee)
Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 November 2024 (01 Dec 23- 30 Nov 24)
The Swiss Cottage School Charity has three key objectives within the strategy:
-
To raise awareness of Special Education Needs and Disability in the local, regional and national community
-
To fund specialist equipment and learning opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability at Swiss Cottage School
-
To develop partnerships which promote the social inclusion of pupils at Swiss Cottage School
The strategy has focused on enabling system developments post-pandemic to support the rise in special educational needs and disabilities nationally. Five curriculum pathways embarked on school development initiatives aligned to strategic partnerships. This promoted the application of expertise within the school to the wider sector, mobilising key partnerships through the school’s regional and national roles across the education system. Swiss Cottage School, Development and Research Centre is a Centre of Excellence, Accredited Partner for Initial Teacher Training with UCL Institute of Education, National Centre of Excellence for Leading Inclusion with the Youth Sports Trust, National Expert Advisory member in the area of SEN, and an Apple Distinguished School for Leadership. This alongside the next phase implementation for the Preparation for Adulthood social enterprise located in a rented space within the London School of Mosaics for the MENCAP partnership has enabled objectives 1 and 3.
The School Charity targeted funding for objective 2 to challenge the disadvantage gap with notable impacts on progress and holistic development through external quality assurance reviews. The targeted funding:
-
Promoted social capital through funding of residential learning experiences and communitybased learning.
-
Enabled cultural capital through funding of multiple specialist artists in residence at the school. The specialists were integrated with the curriculum offer to promote contextualized learning opportunities across the year.
-
Funded sensory and technology resources to enhance classroom learning capable environments.
