The purpose of this annual report is to share the highlights of the partnership this year, the journey coming through the other side of a worldwide pandemic and how we have ensured that our pupils, staff and schools continue to survive and thrive. With so many highlights to celebrate and share we started the year with a focus on our most vulnerable children and an amazing partnership INSET Day in October which took place in Congleton Town Hall. Marie Gentles OBE from Magic Behaviour inspired staff and shared practical, manageable ways to modify behaviour via a bespoke approach which meets the varying needs of children and young people. This annual report shares the journey to date and outlines the steps that are to follow next. We continue to work together in collaboration to ensure that as a TEAM, ‘ _**Together Everybody Achieves More’**_ . ## _**Alex Thompson**_ ## _**Partnership Business Manager**_ 3/15 The CeCP’s aim is to ensure that our children and young people: - Are healthy - Stay safe - Enjoy and achieve - Make a positive contribution - Achieve economic wellbeing ## **The Partnership’s charitable objectives are:** ## **1.

Company Number: 7956695 Charity Number: 1150460 ## **Registered Office:** Congleton education Community Partnership c/o Black Firs Primary School Longdown Road Congleton CW12 4QJ Website: www.cecp.org.uk ## **Appointment of Bankers** The Directors agreed the appointment of Lloyds Bank on formation of the Company. 5/15 ## **Financial Review** The Partnership’s income this year was obtained from school contributions and external funding sources, some of which is restricted to specific services or projects. All income and expenditure is monitored and agreed by the Trustees & Directors on a regular basis. ## **Reserves Policy** The Trustees and Directors review the level of reserves annually. Prior to year-end financial contributions for the next 12 months are agreed along with a commitment from all schools for the following year. This commitment will ensure the sustainability and continuity of the Partnership whilst we continue to work together for the benefit of the Congleton community. ## **Trustees Responsibility** The Trustees and Directors are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Accounts. Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements each financial year which give a true and fair view of the of the charitable company and of the incoming resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose within reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The charitable company has continued to commission the services of EPG Accountants. ## **Annual Accounts** EPG Accountants Ltd was commissioned by the CeCP five years ago and continues to work closely with the Partnership. EPG Accountants prepare the annual accounts for the Partnership, the documentation of which will be shared with this report. 6/15 ## Commissioned Services ## **Behaviour & Wellbeing Support for Secondary Schools – Eaton Bank Academy & Congleton High School** The continued funding for both secondary schools in the town has ensured that support is provided for students, particularly those who are most vulnerable or who have additional needs. - 1-to-1 support for students who are struggling with their wellbeing, behaviour, emotional, or welfare issues. - Home visits and/or contact with parents or carers, to enable school staff to support those families who are unable to come into school or fail to engage. - Attendance at ‘early help’ and/or core group meetings for child in need cases and child protection cases. - Family support and counselling support for students and make referrals to other external agencies when they feel this is appropriate. ## **The interventions above support the following outcomes for students:** - Improved attendance for some of the more vulnerable students. - Significant reduction in the number of fixed term exclusions and internal inclusion. - Significant improvement in the level of parental engagement. - Support for the emotional wellbeing of our young people. - Support for students in school and providing a safe space to discuss the emotional challenges they face. This is also evidenced by the reduction in the number of referrals to CAMHS. 7/15 ||**Primary**

A bespoke approach was offered to each school as to how the counselling and groupwork is organised. A standardised service was delivered to each school and have been commissioned to provide low level intervention. Support this year continued to be challenging following the period of lockdowns during the pandemic as well as continuing to navigate covid and the absences of students and staff. SWaNS remained flexible and adaptable and monitored the situation to ensure that the schools and children have received a safe, effective and ethical service. ## **Following initial contact, the main presenting issues were:** Anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, self-esteem, bullying, family breakdown, OCD, hoarding, severe anxiety, medical issues, family conflict, bereavement, school refusal, sleeping issues, friendships, coping with autism, coping with being a looked after child (LAC). Case studies: ||Case studies:|| |---|---|---| ||Age/School
year|11, Year 6| ||Presenting
Themes|The client presented mainly with anxiety around her family situation, in particular issues
regarding her mum and a desire to be able to make her own decisions with regard to this.| ||Therapeutic
Process|Client had already accessed sessions with a different SWaNS counsellor over the previous
academic year. With the main element of her anxiety being an ongoing family issue, it was
decided that further counselling support to build on the work already done would be beneficial.
During our sessions, she engaged very well and is an emotionally intelligent child. She
understands why she feels the way she does about the home circumstances and her mum and
found the sessions useful for exploring this. She felt uncomfortable in trying to have her voice
heard in regard to decisions made about her relationship with her mum and we worked on
raising her self-esteem and self-confidence.
I worked in a person-centred way with her and allowed her to bring whatever she wanted to
explore in a safe place.| 8/15 ||Strategies/
Interventions|We used self-esteem/self-confidence worksheets and activities to help raise her level of
confidence.| |---|---|---| ||Outcome|When we finished our sessions, the client said that she had enjoyed being able to have the time
to talk through all the thoughts she had about her relationship not only with her mum but also
with other members of her family. She felt that she now had the confidence to share her feelings
and to be able to talk about her thoughts around the decisions that were being made. She felt
that finally her voice was being heard.| ||Age/School year|10, Year 5| |---|---|---| ||Presenting
Themes|Worries
Intrusive Thoughts| ||Therapeutic
Process|The client had not had counselling before and we explored what counselling was (a safe space
to explore thoughts and feelings)
Each session was led by what the client wanted to explore each week and through this he was
able to feel safe to explore his feelings about worries and intrusive thoughts.
We explored worries about puberty, teeth and work and if they were worries that we could do
anything about. We explored about things that the client was doing when he felt calm and
happy and if there were ways of ensuring that we did more of these things daily to reduce
general levels of anxiety.| ||Strategies/
Interventions|Through creating a confidential, safe space the client was able to explore his worries and
thoughts about puberty, his teeth and work in depth. This meant that he could understand
some of the changes that were happening to him and his worries decreased.
We also focussed on particular worries and exploring what the client could do to reduce them.
We explored what was happening when the client felt calm and how we could incorporate more
calming activities into the client’s day.
We used a simple 0-10 worry scale each session to rate the client’s level of worry. and over the
sessions this reduced from 8 to 3. The client was therefore able to see how his worries had
decreased.
We explored and identified who the client could share worries with and the importance of
sharing worries when they were smaller in scale.| ||Outcome|Using the worry scale saw the client’s self-reported worry reduce from 8 to 3.
During the sessions the client began to be able to explore his worries when they were smaller
and therefore, they did not have such a big effect on him.
The client identified people to share his worries with in future.| 9/15 ## **Annual report** Cheshire Play Therapy have continued to prioritise the mental health needs of children and young people by continuing to provide a wide range of much needed services. Play & Creative Arts therapies still remain as our core practices we have been proud to be able to offer a range of other services too, such as: - Trauma focussed CBT - Attachment focussed family services (PCAP) (Filial) - Sensory integration support - Group therapy with specific focuses - Drawing & Talking - Clinical Supervision – enabling us to offer more effective support to staff and fellow therapists. For the third consecutive academic year Covid-19 has had a big impact on children and families mental health and the Cheshire Play Therapy team has been able to support this. We have noticed an increase in referrals for anxiety, school refusal and OCD traits, all of which the parents and carers feel have been evoked in the first instance by the pandemic. The team has continued to offer a bespoke and flexible approach in order to meet the individual needs of each child referred. For several families strategies were shared with parents/carers which meant that some children didn’t need to access Play Therapy sessions, and therefore other children could be seen instead. Similarly, because the Play Therapy team has good communication with teaching staff, therapists often make suggestions for strategies/activities/resources which indirectly supports children without them ever needing a formal referral to the service e.g. therapists have shared activities and resources with ELSAs and SENDCOs. ## **Data and Analysis for CeCP funded sessions 2021-2022:** |School:|Number of CECP

The difference between the start and end scores indicates whether the child has made positive, negative or no change. This score is assessed alongside qualitative feedback offered by school staff and parents/carers to ensure the GBO offers an accurate reflection of the changes that have been observed. Goal Based Outcomes are recommended by CAMHS Outcome Research Consortium (CORC) and have adaptability which enables them to be used: - Across a broad range of interventions - In a variety of settings - With a diverse range of service users - Flexibly to acknowledge different types of ‘change’ This year 80 children have completed their processes with 79 children demonstrating positive change and 1 child having experienced no change; for this individual child referrals were made to Early Help and CAMHS for further assessment, however the parent reported feeling more confident in managing symptoms having discussed coping strategies with the therapist. There are 7 children continuing their therapy in September 2022, as such their final GBOs are not yet known. 11/15 |Positive Change:|Negative Change:|No Change:|Children continuing

Groups delivered this year have included selfesteem, emotional regulation, social skills and transition to high school. A group of year 6 students attended a series of sessions with a focus on transition to high school. The group initially presented as being very shy but as sessions progressed increased in confidence and egaged with enthusiasm. Using metaphoric play and open-ended discussions the group explored many topics including: - Identifying negative and positive self-talk - Challenging their own negative self-talk - Understanding how hormones impact on their brains as they grow - Understanding the areas of the brain that are very active during puberty (impacting their behaviour) and that some areas are not developed until later life - Identifying personal coping strategies for strong emotions including anger, sadness and anxiety - Identifying people they can talk to when struggling emotionally Following the ending of sessions all participants reported feeling more comfortable and confident with regards to moving on to high school. 12/15 ## Collaborative Working The Partnership’s prides itself on strong collaborative working with schools and colleagues to improve learning outcomes for the pupils. We embrace challenge to ensure the children and young people in our community have access to resources and opportunities to support them in reaching their potential. The Partnership ensures its success continues, by championing our mission statement that, as a TEAM, ‘ _**Together Everybody Achieves More’**_ . ## **Collaboration across the schools** This year has demonstrated that working together and supporting each other is vital, not just in terms of teaching and learning and continued professional development but also for the mental health and wellbeing of colleagues and the children & young people in our schools and community. The past 12 months have included the following benefits for our CeCP colleagues: - **Network (both face-to-face and remotely) for both professional and personal support:** Headteachers continued to meet regularly to share information and to offer guidance and support to each other. The feedback received was that these meetings were unvaluable and provided a platform for headteachers to have an informal discussion with colleagues in a similar situation. - **Partnership Meetings:** Trustees/Directors’ Meetings, SENDCO Meetings, EYFS Group Meetings, Sports Partnership, School Direct Student Network Meetings and some Subject & Year Group Meetings met to discuss shared practice and moderation sessions. - **The Town INSET Day in the autumn term** was delivered via zoom however, over 200 colleagues were in attendance for Andy Cope’s presentation on the ‘Art of Being Brilliant’. ## **School Direct Teacher Training – We ‘Grow Our Own’ Teachers!** The partnership is in its 6th year of working in partnership with Staffordshire University on the School Direct Programme. The associate teachers that started on the School Direct programme have all secured employment; yet again, several within our partnership schools. One student emailed to say _‘To have trained to be a primary school teacher during a national pandemic has had its challenges but also had its rewards. Teaching hybrid has enabled me to be creative with regarding to teaching remotely and then returning to the classroom and face-to-face teaching’._ All of our School Direct students are all local people looking to train to teach and find employment within the local area……. As a partnership and School Direct provider we make this happen! With the continued support from the primary school staff, in particular **Toby Hassall (Black Firs Primary School)** , **Helen Harrison & Ben Heades (Mossley CofE Primary School)** , this has ensured the success of the programme. 13/15 ## **Continued professional development and collaborative working as identified by the partnership schools including:** - ❖ **Literacy Co-ordinators** continued writing network/project meetings and attended a session with the poet, Harry Baker. - ❖ **Y2 staff** attended Writing Moderation Meetings - ❖ **Y6 staff** attended Writing Moderation Meetings - ❖ **31 staff** attended a twilight session delivered by the ADHD Foundation - ❖ **32** staff attended a twilight session on ‘behaviour’ delivered by Springfield Special School. - ❖ **10 staff** were trained in Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSA) ## **Broader and richer curriculum activities this year included:** - A continued annual calendar of Sporting Competitions across the primary schools. These events continue to bring partner schools together, to share positive experiences - foster a sense of pride and community, as well as support the health & wellbeing of the children & young people in our schools. - The Annual ‘Town Sports’ event was resumed this year after having to cancel this last year due to Covid. Our thanks to the staff, children and parents who supported this event and made it such a success. ## **Commissioned services this year have included:** - Play Therapy sessions – commissioned via Cheshire Play Therapy - Counselling & Wellbeing Sessions – commissioned via SWaNS - Behaviour & Wellbeing Support - commissioned by Eaton Bank Academy & Congleton High School 14/15 ## FINANCE ## **Details of the Profit & Loss Account are contained within the Annual Accounts (provided by EPG Accountants).** ## **External Funding** Our appreciation to those external funders who have recognised the fabulous work of the CeCP and have helped us financially to provide much needed support to the children & young people in our community. 15/15 Company Registration No. 07956695 (England and Wales) THE EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 THE EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS CONTENTS Page Company infomiation Dir8Ctor5' report Accountsnts. r8POrt Incom8 St8t8￿nt statement of finawal pM)sitiL No18S to the accounts Detailed KKofit and k)ss acLxyJnt 10 THE EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 Directors Miss P Blythe Miss J Mason Mrs H Harrison Mr l Lews S8crètary Miss Alexandra Thompson Company Number 07956695 IEngland and W81881 Reglstered Office CIO Black Firs Pn'm8ry Sd LongdowTh Road Congleton Cheshire CW12 40J Accountants EPG A¢c4)unlants Lld 14 Soulhlands Road Mossley CONGLETON Cheshire CW12 3JY THE EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP (COMPANY NO: 07956695 ENGLAND AND WALES DIRECTORS.
