Welcome

alongside professional artists, actors and dancers. We expanded our Continuing Professional Development offering, giving teachers more opportunities to develop their skills and confidence. We are seeing the effects of a legacy of arts-based learning being built across our partner schools.

As Chair of Trustees at Delight I am very pleased to present our Annual Report and Accounts for 2021/22.

This year we have been back in schools in real life! We are proud of the way that Delight and its partners managed to continue to deliver during the two years of pandemic-related disruptions, and we continue to draw on the lessons we learned during that time, but it really is fabulous to be back working face-toface in schools again. We have revelled in it. As is evident from this Report, Delight brings an incredible atmosphere and energy to classrooms.

We are all so grateful to those who have made the programmes possible. Teachers, teaching assistants, headteachers, arts partners and funders all continue to work above and beyond the call of duty, making it possible for Delight to deliver the amazing results reflected in this Report.

Through their Delight programmes, the children were able to once again experience school trips and welcome family and friends back into school to celebrate their creative achievements. Working with professional artists, actors and dancers in person and creating and sharing their own performances or artworks has been really joyous for the children.

As we embark on the new 2022/23 school year, we are looking forward to enabling more children to benefit as we expand our work throughout Surrey and, for the first time, into neighbouring Croydon. We look forward to witnessing those children benefitting from the boost to wellbeing, learning and creativity that results from participation in the arts.

We ran our Delight in Dance, Art and Shakespeare programmes this year. Through these, 1,751 children and 66 teachers were able to immerse themselves in the arts, working

Charitable
Objectives
----- End of picture text -----

Delight’s arts programmes help primary school aged children build strong foundations for a brighter future. Our vision is for every child to have an equal opportunity to thrive during their school years and beyond, whatever their starting point or background.

Delight’s primary objectives, as laid out in

its Constitution, are to:

On the 17th May 2022 the board passed a resolution to remove the following objective from our charitable aims:

Since the pandemic we have reduced our young volunteering programme whilst expanding our arts-based learning programmes. This omission is therefore a truer representation of Delight’s work although we will still provide young volunteering opportunities wherever possible. Changes have been filed with the Charity Commission.

Public Benefit: our audiences

Using the joy of the arts to create magic in learning

Our primary audience is children aged 5 to 11 from disadvantaged backgrounds and their families. Our audiences are also the teachers and headteachers from our partner schools, working together to embed arts-based learning to help every child have the opportunity to thrive during their school years and beyond.

We work in long-term partnership with state primary schools to reach children through safe and structured settings. Our focus is on improving the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds and many of the children we work with are eligible for Pupil Premium. Others narrowly miss the Pupil Premium threshold but face a range of challenges in their lives: from struggling financially to having English as an additional language to having access and/or learning needs.

Disadvantage has a big influence on children’s life chances. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to start school behind their peers and the performance gap widens as they progress through school. Many may experience poor learning engagement or low mental wellbeing, whilst a deficit of life experiences and enriching opportunities leaves children with low expectations and aspirations. These issues have all been exacerbated by the pandemic and now the cost of living crisis.

The Trustees confirm they have had due regard to The Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

“My son has not stopped talking about this experience. He has thoroughly enjoyed it and has reached an amazing milestone in taking part. He has Down’s syndrome and has been completely included.” PARENT, DELIGHT IN SHAKESPEARE

Access and Inclusion

Delight is committed to being accessible to all children, helping them to celebrate their achievements whatever their starting point. We work with partner schools that cater for a wide range of additional needs, including schools with specialist units for children who are hearing impaired and those with autism.

In 2021/22, we introduced:

Like Delight, our arts partners are highly experienced in creating inclusive sessions and relaxed performances and work with teachers and support staff to cater for specific needs.

“When the Out of this World videos [with Sign Supported English] were first played in class it was a massive surprise. Having SSE videos makes the child be responsible for their learning as they don’t need to sit back and wait for it to be translated to them – they can absorb it directly. This also means the child can benefit from the visual content directly rather than just the signer’s translation.”

DELIGHT IN ART

with the introduction of Rainforest Retreat and Out of this World . The latter programmes are inspired by projects that we ran during the pandemic to support children’s wellbeing and creativity during lockdowns and home-schooling.

Delight in Art takes children on a visual arts journey starting with a tour of Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village and a hands-on arts workshop led by artists from Paintbox. Children spend six weeks exploring a range of art materials and techniques leading to a final exhibition to showcase their creative achievements.

Offering three visual arts pathways, all in partnership with Paintbox and Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village, is enabling us to respond to growing demand for a range of topic-inspired programmes and further expand our continuing professional development for teachers.

2021/22 marked an exciting moment of growth for our visual arts portfolio as we expanded the programme from one to three pathways: the continuation of long-running Delight in Watts together

“It has been a joy to work directly with children in schools again. There are so many special moments: the excitement of learning new painting techniques, the freedom of exploring their unique ideas, the journey of developing their personal style and the surprise at achieving something they’re really proud of. Delight in Art programmes are fantastic at boosting confidence and allowing children to see themselves as artists.”

HANNAH MAIYA-MILLS, ARTIST AND FOUNDER OF PAINTBOX

Rainforest Retreat Classrooms are transformed into the Amazon rainforest through a range of 2D and 3D artworks created by the children during workshops with artists and their class teacher.

“The Delight in Watts exhibition days are always a highlight for us. They (the event and the exhibitions) are much loved by staff and visitors and it is powerful to see children taking ownership of the gallery, navigating spaces and speaking confidently about what they find, and with genuine joy and excitement to be in a now-familiar place.”

SARAH JARVIS, HEAD OF LEARNING & ENGAGEMENT, WATTS GALLERY – ARTISTS’ VILLAGE

Delight in Watts

Delight in Watts offers children a truly immersive visual arts experience. Each school could choose from the theme of Myths and Legends, Neighbourhood Nature or Self Portraits to help their Delight in Watts experience complement wider learning.

Following their day at Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village, children undertook three full day workshops led by professional artists from visual arts organisation Paintbox. They explored a range of techniques including sketching, dioramas, foiling, and tracing, and learnt about how to talk about art and different artistic styles. The artists introduced children to the therapeutic benefits of creating art and how it can help build confidence, wellbeing, and resilience.

Children’s final artworks on canvas were displayed at Watts Gallery’s Old Kiln Room in professionally curated exhibitions that were on public display for four weeks.

“I feel more confident and I am getting a canvas for my birthday!” CHILD

DELIGHT IN ART

“I just wanted to say what a special experience this afternoon was – one of my favourite ever days as a teacher (and I’ve been doing it for 25 years so that’s a lot of days!). To see the children so confident in the gallery, showing their parents round and talking about the art, then to see their delight at their finished paintings – it was absolutely wonderful! Some of those children with low self-esteem were so happy to talk about their work and were so proud of what they had achieved!” TEACHER

“My daughter has always had a creative streak but can be critical about her work. Delight in Watts has helped her find beauty in imperfections. To think outside the box! She is a lot more resilient and determined to see an attempt to create through to ‘finish’. She also encourages her younger brothers to be able to be creative, to have a go and to enjoy the process.” PARENT

Rainforest Retreat

DELIGHT IN ART

Rainforest Retreat builds children’s art skills, personal confidence and understanding of environmental activism. An initial ‘wow’ visit to Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village introduced children to George and Mary Watts and their “art for all” vision. Back at school, children explored drawing, pattern, and paper-craft during six weekly art workshops, led alternately by Paintbox artists and their class teacher. Together, they created a forest of 2D and 3D leaves, birds and insects which transformed their classroom into the Amazon rainforest.

“My child has really enjoyed the experience and has talked about it at home. Wonderful to hear about their learning.” PARENT

“The programme definitely improved their ability to want to take on challenges, they were more willing to give things a go.”

TEACHER

“You got a sense there was more happiness in the classroom, the children looked forward to Mondays when they had their sessions. It did feel very calming for them.” TEACHER, RAINFOREST RETREAT

OUT OF THIS WORLD

DELIGHT IN ART

Children began their Out of this World experience with a tour of Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village where they learnt about George Watts and how space and the planets influenced his work. Over the following five weeks at school, children explored drawing, watercolour painting, collage-making, and dioramas to create their own 3D space scenes. Three of the workshops were led by artists from Paintbox whilst two were led by class teachers as part of their continuing professional development.

“The programme was very leveling – there was no need for comparison with others as there was no right or wrong. The water colours session felt like art therapy, there was a very calm atmosphere in the classroom.”

TEACHER

“I most enjoyed painting with watercolours. I loved making it sparkle with the brusho.” CHILD

The children’s final artworks were brought together in fantastic exhibitions, either in school halls or classrooms, to showcase achievements to family and friends.

“What an incredible thing you do for the children. My daughter’s confidence has gone through the roof – she even PARENT sang a solo! Huge thank you.”

DELIGHT IN SHAKESPEARE

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Delight in Shakespeare develops children’s enthusiasm for drama, storytelling, and heritage texts. The programme builds a strong foundation in Shakespeare before children move on to secondary school.

“It was brilliant, and I got a lot of support to help me in my play. Everyone worked together as a team. I enjoyed becoming my character and making the props and sorting costumes.” CHILD

Children experienced a live

performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in school performed by the Guildford Shakespeare Company, which was followed by a Q&A with the cast. Children then spent six weeks exploring script writing, theatre production, and drama skills to create their own version of the play. This was performed at school to showcase and celebrate their achievements with their families, peers, and school community.

“All of the children wanted parts and wanted to speak in the play... including children that are usually more timid. We didn’t expect all of them to want speaking parts so this is a huge positive for self-esteem and aspiration.” TEACHER

“For me, the biggest reward is seeing confidence in individuals bloom and, in some cases, sky rocket. I’m yet to take part in a Delight project where a teacher or parent or family member has not approached me and expressed disbelief at the positive change they have seen in a child. None of this would be possible without Delight. The work they do is pure magic.” SAM DAVIES, ACTOR, GUILDFORD SHAKESPEARE COMPANY

DELIGHT IN DANCE

Heroes vs Villains

“It was a massive confidence boost. Even for the quieter ones. They raise their hands a lot more in class now and want to participate and share more. It’s amazing!” TEACHER

Delight in Dance uses ‘storytelling through dance’ to develop children’s literacy, dance and performance skills. The programme builds confidence, wellbeing, team-work and learning engagement by taking children on a creative storytelling adventure over 6 weeks with dancers from Made by Katie Green. Delight in Dance’s innovative and inclusive approach encourages even the most reluctant learner to participate.

“My child is normally very shy, has concentration and memory issues. Today I saw a different girl happy, confident and great PARENT memory of moves.”

After two fractured years of learning due to the pandemic, teachers reported that Delight in Dance was a brilliant tool for bringing children together again – particularly at a time when they were facing challenges in tackling children’s lost learning and seeing an increase in wellbeing issues.

“There were children who at the beginning of the term may have been withdrawn or uncertain for a broad variety of reasons who were fully immersed in the world of the work by the end.” KATIE GREEN, CHOREOGRAPHER, MADE BY KATIE GREEN

Measuring our impact

We’re passionate about measuring the impact of our programmes because it enables us to enrich our offer, expand our reach, and strengthen our impact amongst children, their teachers, parents, and carers.

Alongside our long-term rigorous monitoring and evaluation, we have been working with ImpactEd since 2020 on a 3.5 year study funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

ImpactEd are conducting independent research into the outcomes of Delight’s programmes on children and their teachers. This includes a comprehensive study of 3 programmes: Delight in Dance, Shakespeare, and Watts, as well as in-depth tracking of a group of 26 children eligible for Pupil Premium as they progress through different Delight programmes over 3 years.

The research is looking at changes in:

Social research included: engagement in learning

Academic research included: fluent speech

CHILD PARTICIPATING IN THE PUPIL PREMIUM STUDY, DELIGHT IN WATTS

Spotlight on Year 2 of our Pupil Premium research study

Delight and ImpactEd are working with a group of 26 children eligible for Pupil Premium across 6 primary schools on a detailed study looking at the impact of our arts-based learning programmes as children progress through different Delight programmes.

2021/22 marked Year 2 of the research study. Mid-way through the research and evaluation has already highlighted strong outcomes for children eligible for Pupil Premium:

“Delight projects give another avenue for children to express themselves in a constructive way, developing vocabulary and creative skills along the way… Investing in cultural experiences beyond the ‘norm’ are an important part of tackling disadvantage and improving outcomes for children.”

Over the next academic year, we will continue to work with school partners and ImpactEd on the final year of this in-depth study to gain a full understanding of the long-term impact of Delight’s programmes and the lessons that can be learnt by us and the wider sector.

Case studies from children

eligible for Pupil Premium

DELIGHT IN SHAKESPEARE

Child L is in Year 5 and one of many children eligible for Pupil Premium to benefit from Delight in Shakespeare. Teacher “Child L was very awkward at the start. Very reluctant to get on stage and act in front of other children. A couple of weeks in, she just blew us away. One day she came in, knew all her lines and totally threw herself into the performance and character. Her writing has definitely improved - she is much more willing to write and uses more descriptive phrases. Her mum helped us with costumes and attended the performance – we don’t usually have contact with mum.”

DELIGHT IN DANCE

Child D is in Year 3 with a complicated home life that can impact upon her engagement with school. The teacher noted she can be very reluctant to try if she finds something difficult.

Teacher “Pupil D was absolutely amazing. She gave her absolute heart and soul! She tried everything and relished rehearsing and learning new things. She got so much out of it – working in a team, extra confidence and it really reflected in her writing which is something she struggles with. She has shown progress in her writing – we shall have to dance all our English from now on!”

Child “I really enjoyed putting on the show. I felt really brave on stage even though I was nervous. My favourite part was being Hermia because she was my favourite character and I really wanted to be her when I auditioned. I was really nervous for the show and being in front of so many parents.. I might look at doing drama at secondary school.”

Child “I loved it and it made me more confident because other people watch you and lots of people said lovely things about me. Me and a friend keep doing the dance in the playground.”

DELIGHT IN WATTS

Child A is in Year 4 and has autism, ADHD and learning difficulties. The teacher told us in the pre-programme assessment that he struggles to access all areas of the curriculum.

Teacher “Child A was an absolute superstar. I thought he would struggle with the dexterity of what he was doing but he loved every minute. During this program I saw a different side to Child A, a confidence and a pride in his work.”

Child “I am good at art now and I got called an artist. I liked showing mum my work and I want to be an artist now.”

Building a positive support network for children

Delight programmes are childcentred. But, to achieve maximum impact, they target not only the children, but also the teachers, parents and carers who support each child.

Many of our partner schools face challenges in positively engaging parents and carers in their child’s learning. That is why engagement and celebratory sharing opportunities are a fundamental part of each Delight programme.

With schools having been closed to parent and carer events for two years due to the pandemic, children’s Delight exhibitions and performances in 2021/22 provided a joyful and welcome return to schools for many families.

81% of parents and carers have noticed a difference in their child’s self-confidence

“The children’s exhibition was brilliant. It was the most parents I have had at any school event.”

“We used the Out of this World materials in class on our Space Day... We used the teacher resource book to plan it. Using the videos of Hannah [from Paintbox], we spent the afternoon first painting our watercolour space backgrounds, then creating patterns for our planets and finally creating space objects using silver card. The kids really enjoyed it and it was lovely to use the techniques again.”

Increasing teachers’ skills and confidence to use arts-based learning

Developing teachers’ confidence, skills and enthusiasm for using the arts across their teaching practice underpins all Delight programmes.

Our programmes incorporate a five-month wraparound package of continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers which includes:

“Teachers praised the fact

that they learnt how to better integrate arts activities into learning activities and the curriculum, such as

• Post-programme evaluation meeting with Delight

integrating the story of dance or theatre into English lessons and literacy learning.”

IMPACTED

Across all Delight programmes,

of practical resources and skills: from learning about the logistics of how to facilitate engaging art, drama and dance workshops and the most appropriate resources to use, to techniques and approaches for connecting with even the most reluctant learner.

evaluation highlighted a strong increase in teachers’ confidence, skills and knowledge to teach and facilitate arts-based learning activities.

Programmes have not only developed teachers’ confidence and capacity but also equipped them with a range

82% of teachers reported increased confidence to integrate artsbased learning into lessons and crosscurriculum

“Before, I worried will I be able to control the class? Will everyone join in? This has given me a far greater confidence in teaching dance and an understanding of how you would break it down and teach it.”

A legacy of creativity in primary schools

“It is key for us to provide a wide range of rich learning opportunities to extend [children’s] vocabulary and resilience. This, in turn, supports curiosity, the ability to talk about learning experiences with others and increases self-esteem, confidence and attendance. Delight’s projects provide us with such opportunities and are a fundamental part of the additional learning opportunities planned into our curriculum.”

HEADTEACHER

“This partnership [with Delight] opens up our children’s eyes to the magic and possibilities of learning and creativity in such an immersive and all-embracing way…particularly as many of our children speak English as an additional language, or have language deprivation. This project, and the wider learning opportunity it provides, would support us and our children in helping close the learning and opportunity gap for our children.”

HEADTEACHER

We work long-term with teachers and headteachers to embed artsbased learning across schools and create a genuine legacy that will benefit children in years to come.

Each year, Delight consults with the headteacher or deputy head at each partner school to discuss their aspirations, the children’s needs, and what the teaching team are looking to achieve from Delight’s programmes and partnership.

68% of schools in 2021/22 have participated in Delight programmes for 2 or more years

“The impact that [Delight’s] opportunities have on our school are extremely beneficial to our children’s wellbeing, engagement in the curriculum, parental engagement and cultural capital.”

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
