TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Governing Document
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (“CIO”) governed by its constitution dated 10 Apr 2017and granted charitable status by the Charity Commission on that date.
OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES
The objects of the charity are:
-
Providing outstanding additional supplies, resources and activities for pupils to access as part of an extended curriculum
-
Provide advocacy advice and information
ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
As the COVID restrictions remained during the course of 2021, we began the academic year 2021-2022 hopeful of a return to normal. Governors and staff maintained an air of normality, ensuring that children’s learning experience was protected from the requirements necessary due to COVID, as much as could be deemed safe.
In the winter of 2021, as the inclement weather drew in, until Easter 2022, the governing body agreed to erect a large Marquee, 9m x 18m, in the school playground. The marquee allowed children to have access to the outdoors throughout the winter and early spring.
Within the marquee, we were able to hold music lessons, this was important as COVID restrictions remained in place for schools regarding the teaching of music. Having the marquee ensured that the children’s teaching timetable was not interrupted, other lessons such as PE & games also took place in the marquee. In addition to this we were able to host all our Christmas events, Christmas Fair, Carol Service and Nativity play safely, within the marquee. Parents generously donated towards the cost of the marquee, for this reason we were able to retain it until April 2022.
An appeal by the governing body finance committee in the summer of 2022, invited parents to consider making regular payments to the school fund. This appeal was successful, a significant number of parents, almost 50% of families, either increased their donation, or set up a regular payment.
During this challenging period, we were able to continue to fund the school counselling service. The school counsellor attended school twice weekly, and provided a much-needed service for both children and their parents.
In addition to this, we were able to continue our support for Beka Primary school in Malawi. Through Mary’s Meals Charity, The Good Shepherd School is committed to funding a meal for every pupil in Beka Primary School, for a whole school year. The children and parents are grateful for the opportunity to be able to put the school’s Mission Statement into practice; Jesus said ‘Love one another as I have love you.’ John 13:34
With love at the core of all we do, at The Good Shepherd we: Love to learn together and Learn to love together Pray together and play together Putting our faith into action Growing in the Love and Truth of Christ in His church for the benefit of all.
Wesley Harcourt liaised with the head teacher and senior leadership team regularly across this period, to ensure that the school fund was supporting the needs of the children, when and where appropriate.
