Aims:

The aim of this project is to work in partnership with local authorities, mainstream schools, National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education and voluntary organisations in order to develop the quality of Saturday school provision in Harrow. In particular we aim to:

Improve the quality of teaching for pupils through enhancing teacher standards
Encourage supplementary schools to teach subjects in the national curriculum so that children's exam attainment is improved
Improve the management of supplementary schools through advice and training
Promote NRCSE accreditation so supplementary schools are safer, better organised, have stronger finances, and a greater focus on quality
Improve the relationship between mainstream schools and supplementary schools so that the latter become more proficient and have enhanced capacity
Enable supplementary school organisers to support each other, share good practice, and reduce duplication.

Securing Success Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

the Harrow Supplementary Schools’ Forum
the study support project
partnerships and links with mainstream schools
links with Harrow council, the NRCSE, Young Harrow Foundation (YHF) and Young Barnet Foundation (YBF).

1. The promotion of the Quality Mark for supplementary schools

NRCSE Quality Mark for Supplementary Schools Harrow Supplementary Schools, 2021-22

Alridha Arabic school gained the Quality Mark with distinction on 26[th] February 2021.

MathsMakers planned to undertake Revalidation of the Quality Mark although this was postponed because of a change of trustees.

A new supplementary school teaching Gujarati, Shree Swaminarayan Vidyalay, (SSV) has opened and the manager expressed great interest in the Quality Mark. Securing Success provided support in relation to joining the NRCSE, Good Management e- learning course, policies and Quality Mark process. SSV gained the Quality Mark on 23[rd] May 2022.

After a visit to Jaffaria Academy on 6[th] November 2021, the chair of trustees was keen to gain the Quality Mark accreditation. Subsequently Jaffaria decided to work with OFSTED to gain accreditation.

Many supplementary schools in Harrow reported a return to face to face teaching last autumn 2021 and visits by Securing Success were undertaken.

2. The Harrow Supplementary Schools’ Forum (HSSF)

Termly Forum meetings continued to be well attended and provided an opportunity for supplementary schools to network, reduce isolation and access training, funding and learning opportunities.

Securing Success Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

The summer meeting was held on 15[th] June, 2021 and covered an NRCSE update on government guidance for OOSS, the new e-learning good Management course and the new Creative Teaching project. Securing Success then introduced a needs analysis for supplementary schools after which supplementary schools highlighted their activities.

Hadia Saad, Alridha, spoke of a range of successful holiday art, drama and sport activities delivered at Harrow School. A Health coach and a Nutritionist were hired to promote healthy eating. There were places for 45 and 25 children on Free school meals (FSM) applied.

Dr Firinne Ni’ Chreachain, OYA, spoke of the book club and African history clubs OYA had set up with funding from BBC Children in Need. The informal clubs are responsive to current events (Black Lives Matter) and the book club agenda is led by the children. To meet the needs of vulnerable children 1:1 support had also been set up.

OYA also applied for funding from the John Lyon’s Charity Schools’ Holiday Activity Fund (SHAF) to run a summer programme for 6 weeks.

Raziya Zarrien, manager at the Saturday school spoke of the benefits of partnership working with a mainstream school, Stag Lane.

Patrick O’Dwyer, Director of Education, thanked supplementary schools for their commitment to children and families in Harrow and the wrap - around support they provided. In partnership with Securing Success, he committed to supporting a celebratory event next academic year and promoting partnerships with mainstream schools.

The autumn 2021 meeting combined with the Young People’s Foundation Trust (YPFT) Supplementary Schools’ Network on 5[th] Oct and provided an opportunity for wider contact across London and Manchester.

OYA made a presentation on recruitment of children and Securing Success on Partnerships with mainstream schools.

The spring meeting was held on 8[th] March 2022. Trustees of Securing Success delivered a training session on Rights Respecting Supplementary Schools in order to introduce a pilot to begin autumn 2022.

3. Study Support Project 2021-2022

Five supplementary schools have been funded this year:

Valar Thamil Nilayam – maths and English – 25 children
MathsMakers – Maths 140 children
Zawiyah – Maths – 10
SCEA - maths club – 12 children
Alridha – maths, English and science - 175

Securing Success Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

4. Partnerships with mainstream schools

Partnership with Park High and MathsMakers and Park High and OYA remain strong.

It is hoped that a partnership between Alridha and Priestmead Primary School and Nursery, Harrow will develop. A first stage application to John Lyon’s Charity has been submitted for their consideration. A full application was subsequently successful.

It is also hoped that the work of the Young Peoples Foundation Trust (YPFT) Supplementary Schools’ Network will promote further partnerships between mainstream and supplementary schools. Towards this end Nina Will, headteacher Stag Lane School, Harrow and Raziya Zarrien, Manager, Stag Lane Saturday school gave an excellent presentation on the benefits of partnership working at the meeting of 11[th] March 2021.

Ongoing partnerships between Securing Success and mainstream schools have continued with nine schools in Harrow and Barnet through the Parent Ambassador projects, established and managed by Securing Success in partnership with partner schools.

5. Links with Harrow Council and the NRCSE

Termly meetings with Patrick O’Dwyer, the Divisional Director, Education Services, Harrow Council continue and he has promised support to promote partnerships for example by arranging a relevant presentation to headteachers

Links with the NRCSE continue to be strong and information about government updates, webinars and training are disseminated to Harrow supplementary schools

6. Related activities to raise achievement of vulnerable young people in North West London

Securing Success was again invited by Barnet to deliver two EAL training sessions for KS1 and KS2 newly qualified teachers on 12[th] November. Sadly, the second scheduled for May was cancelled because of lockdown.

The Parent Ambassador projects have been invaluable throughout the Covid pandemic since the Parent Ambassadors have been able to reach and support vulnerable children whilst schools were closed. The projects are now key in supporting catch - up.

Securing Success has worked with Community Barnet (alongside Harrow Council) to disseminate information about the Romanian and East European Hub providing a food bank in addition to advice, general support and dissemination of a video promoting vaccine uptake amongst the Romanian community. A more recent

Securing Success Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

initiative involves training about domestic abuse and at the request of Community Barnet, Securing Success was able to promote this in Barnet schools in the Hatch End High PA project ie Edgware Primary and Fairway Primary.

Impact of Covid 19 on Securing Success

Further lockdowns presented challenges to Securing Success and supplementary schools. However, much had been learnt in the first lockdown and so supplementary school activities and support from Securing Success continued. Lockdown prevented actual visits to supplementary schools to monitor the study support project and mentor schools for the Quality Mark. Challenges of communication were overcome through phone calls, emails and Zoom meetings to ascertain if supplementary schools were remaining open, how they were operating and what support they needed. In response to need, as previously mentioned, twelve supplementary schools have been supported in numerous ways: for example, through direct funding from Securing Success for additional study support activities; support to apply for other funding; support to strengthen their governance; support to transfer to remote teaching and learning; training to support ongoing remote teaching and learning. Links with the NRCSE, YHF and Voluntary Action Harrow Cooperative (VAHC) were invaluable throughout.

Last autumn 2021 schools had for the most part reopened face to face and were pleased to do so with higher numbers of children returning. Securing Success planned a series of visits starting with a visit to Alridha on 23[rd] October to observe the study support programme and listen to the school’s news and challenges. Further visits continued throughout the year to different schools including Oya, ElIman, Stag Lane, Valar Thamil Nilayam, Harrow Somali Supplementary School and Alhuda Arabic Boys’ School

Looking ahead 2022-23

Support to supplementary schools in Harrow will continue to take account of changing needs and delivery:

promote the Quality Mark to supplementary schools
Revalidate schools who gained the Quality Mark over 2 years ago
Hold a local event to celebrate the achievements of supplementary schools (depending on pandemic restrictions)
Distribute funds for study support (English, maths, science)
Monitor study support provision
Promote mainstream school and supplementary school partnerships
Work closely with the NRCSE in the promotion of Rights respecting Schools and
Creative approaches to teaching and learning
Work in partnership with YHF and Harrow Council
Continue consultancy with Belmont School and Hatch End High PA projects

Securing Success Independent Examiner's Report

Final Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SECURING SUCCESS

I report on the accounts of Securing Success for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) or under Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the 2005 Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and section 44(1)(b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
