The exhibition was full of inspiring drawings, sculpture and installations and l think we all really enjoyed the work and came away w((h many ideas lo build into our teaching. On-lino training ice and l attended a webinar in September run by Public Policy Exchange's IPPEI virtual roundtable.. entitled Dyslexia in Schools: Ensuring All Children with {the Gift ofj Dyslexia Can Receive Support and Have Options Open to Them to Achieve Alongside Their Peers. The information was really shocking and made us even more detenmined to do what we can to help our children with SpLDs. Below are some of the highlighted facts from the webinar. Scho)Is in ErKJland are failing lo diagnose at least 80QA of pupils who have (tyslexia Families of dyslexic children are having lo pay up to £1,000 for help wth their child's education, wth pupils from poorer backgrounds being left behind. Diagnosis and support is the worst il had teen since government funding for dyslexia started in the 1980s. According to a 2019 Commons report, 700A of parents of dyslexic children felt their school did not support their child's dyslexia, 760h of parent5 felt the school was not doing a good job supporting their dyslexic thild. and 72% of parents felt their child's schoc4 did not value or nurture their abilities and potential. According to a 2020 report by the National Insb'tule for Health and Care Research, around 40-60% of young people with dyslexia have some kind of psychological drfficulties. including anxiety, depression and attention deficit, compared lo one in eight children across the broader population.

I had already been working there as the 3D art teacher this meant that. not only did I have aesS to all the facilbties of the Art Department but I was able lo talk to the SEND Department before I started. Being part of the school has meant I have been able to prepare and organise my CMF classes wthout relying on the other members of staff and having my own dassroom has made life much easier to plan elc. Like all schools that I have worked in it takes a while for the power that be to appreciate what the CMF can dD for them so it look a few weeks to get the pupils that would benefit sorted and attending the classes but once we were up and running I think we had some success with the groups.

I was fortunate to work wth year 7 learner5 Mtho were pleasant and committed and also continued to attend my club when they were in year 8. The group were given the opportunity to explore a project called Connection and asked to produce a series of drawngs based on their relationship wrth the theme. 'Connection is about the significant connections that make us feel alive. What are the important things that tie you to the world and bring meaning to how you live? Whgt17er it be the things closest and most immediate to you or those things that seem not so obvK)US' 4.. Family. nature and the outdoors and their pet anirnals were very important to identical twtns. The timns predominately communicated amongst themselves. They spoke to teachers when they were asked question but would not verbally ccmmunicate wth their peers in the group. A learner who was autistic and Suffered from anxiety whrch had affected their attendance at school would only communicate with me by nodding their head. The student enjoyed computer games, the natural environment. time th famity, food and sweet treats.

Some of the drawngs were reduced in size and traced onto tracing paper. The group were intrcyjuced to POTcelain clay and placed their traced images onto rolled out slabs that were cut into A5 size b"les. The drawngs were transferred by pressing along the lines and embossing into the day wqth clay tools and then mark making was applied to add texture.

I found out that the hrins were aelually triplets with a brother and the student who communicated quietly by nodding was coincidently a triplet too and had 6 siblings. I felt I should have planned more time creating strategies lo get the Mthole group to communicate wqth each other, even if it was through non-verbal collaborative group actimlies. However, in the last 2 weeks of the project, I overheard the student who would only n¢JJ through communicating. speak wth energy and enthusiasm when responding to a peer's quesbon. The knqns who would only communicate wth me, also spoke Mqthoui hesitation to their peer5 in the group Mthen they were asked about their interests in pets and how many they had over the years, which they replied. 18 animals in totall I fell the group responded well to the project as they were given an opportunity to develop their ideas that were of personal interest to them through the proce55 of drawqng and porcelain clay which was new to them and easy to mould and manipulate. The group were introduced to the new Creative Mentor named Nick who will be stsrting after the aUmn half lem) and they are looking fopKard to the projects he will be introducing to the club.

The LSA also contacted the students, parents and sent an invite poster on behalf of the Creative Mentors Foundation. Tho St Marylebon8 CE School When I started at The St maene CE School in September, I ¢Ctacted the SEN department and asked ti they would recommend a group of students that they lell would benefit from joining my club. The communication from the SEN department was very limited, however the students who eventually attended my after-school club were a small and diverse group of learners with mixed abilities. One of the students was from year 8 and the rest were in year 7. l also introduced the 'Connection' project to the group, but gave them the option to draw wth sharpie pens and develop brighlty coloured illustrative design ideas based on their association with the project brief. scanned and digitally transferred all the students designs onto heat transfer paper then heal pressed ironed their work onlo fabric_ The sdentS then sourced their colours from a selection of embroidery threads and applied simple strtch techniques to add detail and texture to their drawngs on fabric.

Further details of the financial activities of the charity can be found in the financial statements on pages 15 to19. Risk Assessment The Trustees keep the risks assoeiated wth the charity continually under review. The key risk facing the charity is that ils financial commitrnenls wll exceed its resources from time lo lime. however the charity always holds sufficient cash reserves to meet its current ct)ligations. The other principal risk is to ensure the Creative Mentors are of sufficient calibre and of suitable character and all relevant checks on them are carried out before they are employed. Resatves Policy The Trustees consider reserves equal to their extanl contractual obligations lo the Creative Mentors should be retained. 13
