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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (September 2022 - August 2023) OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES

The charity remains dedicated to its core objectives:

Providing outstanding additional supplies, resources, and activities for pupils to enhance their learning as
part of an extended curriculum.
Offering advocacy, advice, and information to support the school community.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

The 2022-2023 academic year was marked by significant achievements and continued progress toward our mission. Notable highlights include:

School Counselling Provision: We sustained our outstanding school counselling service, providing two
days of support per week to address the mental health and wellbeing needs of our pupils.
Specialist Teaching: We offered specialist music instruction to all pupils and swimming coaching for children in Years 2-6. Additionally, we introduced LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) teaching, specifically targeting pupils receiving pupil premium, to enhance their communication and performance skills.
Academic Excellence: Our pupils' outcomes in national assessments for the 2022-2023 academic year remained consistently above, and in many cases significantly above, the national average. This reinforces our commitment to providing a high-quality education for all students.
International Support: We continued our vital partnership with Beka Primary School in Malawi through the Mary's Meals charity. The Good Shepherd School is proud to fund a daily meal for every pupil at Beka Primary for the entire school year. This year, we contributed over £5,000 toward this initiative. The school community—children and parents alike—takes great pride in embodying our Mission Statement, "Jesus said, 'Love one another as I have loved you,'" through this meaningful support.
Fundraising Campaign: In 2022-2023, governors launched a successful fundraising campaign, encouraging parents to make regular donations to the school fund. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with up to 50% of parents committing to regular contributions. These donations have been crucial in helping us meet our objectives and provide the resources necessary for the extended curriculum and additional activities that benefit our pupils.

Overall, the 2022-2023 academic year demonstrated the charity’s unwavering commitment to enriching the educational experience of our pupils while extending support to those in need beyond our local community. The trustees are grateful for the continued generosity of parents and the dedication of staff in achieving these outcomes.

FUTURE PLANS

We are optimistic about the future with regard to the Coronavirus pandemic and are planning to hold a full series of events from Oct 2023 to Mar 2024. Long term our objectives remain to:

Increased the provision of specialist music teaching, to allow for a Choir and Orchestra.
Offer all children a specialist Art curriculum, delivered by a local Art Studio, Kite Studios.
Rebuild the school’s Design Technology & Cookery Classroom
