Welcome
On behalf of Delight’s Board of Trustees, I’m very pleased to share our Annual Report and Financial Statements for the academic year 2022-23.
Creating magic in learning has always been at the heart of Delight’s vision and we are privileged to have worked with 2,227 children and 129 teachers across 29 Surrey and Croydon state primary schools this year.
The results highlighted in this year’s report demonstrate the numerous positive impacts of participating in Delight’s artsbased learning programmes and their role in helping to close the opportunity and attainment gap for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. From joyful immersion in creative activities to showcasing artistic achievements in exhibitions and performances, our artsbased learning programmes are steeped in opportunities that help children thrive during their school years and beyond – raising confidence, pride and aspirations whilst building capacity to better

manage emotions and stress.
Statistics alone, however, cannot communicate the enormity of Delight’s impact on the lives of so many, and, for me, hearing the stories of change from participating children, their teachers and caregivers is one of the most rewarding aspects of being on Delight’s Board of Trustees. Some of these stories are included in our Impact Report and give an insight into the lives of the children that we reach.
As always, we are indescribably grateful to all those who have made it possible. My sincere thanks go to the teachers, teaching assistants, head teachers, arts partners and funders, the fabulous Delight team and the children whose enthusiasm and trust make this work possible and these changes a reality.

Public Benefit: Our audience
Our primary audience is children aged 5 to 11, many are from families affected by socio-economic disadvantage and have challenging home lives.
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. Around one-third of the children we reach are eligible for the government’s Pupil Premium support, a key indicator of disadvantage, whilst others narrowly miss the threshold but still face numerous challenges.
Disadvantage has a big influence on children’s life chances:
-
Socially and economically disadvantaged children are more likely to start school behind their peers and the attainment gap widens as they progress through school.
-
Socially and economically disadvantaged children are more likely to face challenges with mental health, resilience, self-esteem, life satisfaction and confidence.
-
A deficit of life experiences impacts disadvantaged children’s aspirations and opportunities.
-
Children with special educational needs and disabilities are more likely to be born into and grow up in poverty.
Of 2,227 participating children in 2022-23: 32% 22% 26% were eligible for had English as had special Pupil Premium an additional educational needs support language and disabilities

Michael’s Story A PUPIL PREMIUM CASE STUDY
Before Delight in the Woods, Michael showed little interest in reading or writing. He preferred watching videos online to engaging with books and struggled to relate to his peers. Michael needed a lot of encouragement just to participate in classroom basics, let alone creative writing.
By the end of Delight in the Woods, he had fully embraced fiction reading and writing. His parents have noticed his increased engagement with books, as well as a newfound passion for writing stories – growth they believe stems directly from what he experienced during Delight in the Woods.
However, through writing letters to help the fictional William and creating his own imaginative stories, Michael began connecting with storytelling, growing more confident in composing, sharing, and revising his work. Reading aloud to help the story plant grow brought his writing to life even more.
“ I like writing stories about the woods and the animals there. I like to make them talk.”

Ayden’s Story
A PUPIL PREMIUM CASE STUDY
When Ayden began Delight in Dance his teacher shared that he struggled to engage both with classmates and teachers. Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and still learning English as a second language, Ayden had difficulty communicating and connecting with others.
Parent engagement improved slightly but still remains a challenge but Delight in Dance seems to have unlocked a joy in Ayden. He has discovered an expressive outlet in dance and connection with classmates through movement.
“ The delight in dance was great. I liked the heroes and villains, and I would like to do more dancing.”
Over the weeks, as the children created a dance routine to tell the story of a hero overcoming a villain, a subtle but profound transformation happened, and by the end of the programme, Ayden had begun to emerge from his shell. He participated eagerly in both dancer and teacher-guided sessions, soaking up the choreography and according to his teacher, his social and emotional development has improved significantly.

Crystal’s Story A PUPIL PREMIUM CASE STUDY
The change in engagement shown by Crystal’s parent was also significant. They came to the exhibition, stayed for the whole time, engaged with Crystal’s artwork and both Crystal and her parent enjoyed looking at the other pieces of art made by other children.
Before Crystal began the Out of this World visual arts programme, she frequently displayed challenging behaviours and low self-esteem. Yet over the 6-week creative process, her teacher witnessed a remarkable transformation on both an academic and personal level.
“ Out of this World was good fun. I enjoyed the water colours the most.”
Crystal often had difficulties connecting with traditional academic subjects but through Out of this World she found a way to confidently express herself. Her teacher observed a key emotional shift as Crystal became more willing to ask for help when she hit obstacles – a huge step forward.
During the exhibition Crystal spoke about her final art piece with newfound pride and confidence, showing huge progress in how she viewed something she had created.

Joel’s Story A PUPIL PREMIUM CASE STUDY
Most touchingly, Joel speaks about his experience with pride. Bonding with classmates while bringing the classic play to life created wonderful memories he says he’ll always cherish. His only sadness is that he no longer gets to see the actor they worked with.
Joel began Delight in Shakespeare as a gentle boy who didn’t always raise his hand or step into the spotlight. Though perfectly capable, he didn’t fully recognise his own potential and value. His teacher hoped that the experience of creating a class production of Macbeth would allow him to see how valued he is and develop his confidence.
“ I liked that we all came together to put on the play for the school and our families. I do wish we got to see Izzy [GSC actor] more though.”
After landing a leading role as King Malcolm, Joel excelled. He dedicated himself wholeheartedly to doing justice to the pivotal part, surpassing all his teacher’s expectations.
According to his teacher, Joel returned to the classroom filled with new confidence. He now puts himself forward more, especially during role-play activities. Delight in Shakespeare allowed Joel to show himself and others what his teacher always knew - that his intrinsic nature brings value to everyone.

Access and Inclusion
Schools are increasingly booking Delight programmes to support children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in both mainstream classes and specialist centres.
Last year, 26% of participating children had identified special educational needs and disabilities, with many more with undiagnosed needs. We also worked with children from our partner schools’ specialist units, and for the first time, a specialist school for young people with learning and additional needs.
A huge benefit of arts-based learning is that it is such an inclusive approach that really connects with children who struggle with traditional teaching styles. Delight is committed to making all parts of our work accessible to all children, helping everyone to celebrate their achievements whatever their starting point. Through constant conversation and evaluation, we continue to develop and refine our programme content to ensure that every aspect is accessible to all children.
Our experience in working with schools with high proportions of children with learning needs, has taught us that offering different ways to learn can benefit everyone.

Developing teachers’ skills and confidence
Delight aims to empower teachers to deliver creative lessons independently beyond their Delight experience.
We offer a range of training and support to teachers including CPD workshop days, working alongside arts professionals, quality learning resources and opportunities to independently lead creative workshops in school. With every programme, we provide teachers with comprehensive guidance and all the materials they need for their class to ensure their experience is accessible and enjoyable.
We’ve observed the strongest outcomes for children when teachers are proactively involved in creative delivery. In response to this, we are incorporating more opportunities for teachers to lead creative workshops, benefit from highquality arts training and access resources to support and empower them.
This year, we tested two new ways of supporting teachers as part of our long-term plans to expand our teacher development initiatives.

Pilot programmes
Drama for Writing
A new “Drama for Writing” workshop series was run with a group of schools in Addlestone (Surrey) as part of an Artswork commission (Arts Council England, South East). During four weeks of workshops, 40 teachers developed
tools for using drama to increase children’s writing skills and creative storytelling. We had a focus on tactics for connecting with reluctant writers through games and activities.
Amongst 75 children eligible for Pupil Premium
Rainforest Retreat Teacher-led
Over the coming years, we plan to roll out more teacher-led Delight programmes to expand our reach, enable more children across different ages and demographics to benefit from our range of programmes and provide lower-cost opportunities for schools.
A teacher-led pilot of our popular Rainforest Retreat programme with 49 children aged 6-11 showed positive outcomes for teachers and children. One of the two partner schools was a specialist centre for children with autism and the experience has also informed our plans for developing the inclusivity of our programmes.

Arts legacy
Within school
Delight works in long-term partnership with state primary schools, using the arts to help close the opportunity and attainment gap for children affected by disadvantage. Working closely with headteachers and senior leaders we support schools with creating a genuine arts legacy that will benefit children in years to come.
Many schools book Delight programmes to support their Pupil Premium strategies. At the end of their programme, we provide each school with a tailored impact report about the social, academic and creative outcomes for participating children eligible for Pupil Premium at their school. This not only helps build a strong school-wide case for using arts-based learning and cultural capital but helps to provide transparent and targeted evidence of the value of the school’s financial investment to stakeholders.

----- End of picture text -----
We are hearing more and more from headteachers and school leaders about the ways that participating in Delight’s programmes is enriching wider class learning. Indeed, we work with a whole class rather than specific children as this is proven to have stronger outcomes for all children. Our high-quality resources and materials are designed to make creative teaching easier rather than something additional to fit into the school day. Beyond each Delight programme, we offer advice and support for teachers on using arts-based learning across the curriculum including via our newsletter where we showcase creative initiatives and resources that can be used in the classroom.
Beyond school
We work with a fantastic group of arts organisations spanning the visual arts, dance, and performing arts. Part of our creative process is commissioning the development of new creative content and we are happy for our partner organisations to develop and deliver this work beyond working with Delight. Our vision is for all children to have access to high-quality cultural and creative experiences and we want to support our partners to maximise this.
The Story Detectives was originally commissioned by Delight and it forms the week one professional dance performance for children participating in Delight in Dance.
Paintbox holiday workshops
Our visual arts partner Paintbox offers substantial discounts on their holiday art workshops for children who’ve participated in any Delight programme.
Over the past year, 41 art workshops during school holidays have been attended by 16 children who have worked on a Delight programme providing further opportunities to expand their creative skills and experiences.
The Story Detectives on tour!
Made by Katie Green’s interactive dance adventure The Story Detectives went on tour to 19 libraries across the south-east and south-west of England this year. 48 performances took place at weekends and in the school holidays, engaging 2,448 audience members.

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
