School as a registered charity. The Covid-19 pandemic
constrained activities of Flavour School for the year.
Nonetheless, some activity was achieved and we can
report on the two following areas:
**1. Research**:
In his role as a fellow at the University of Leeds, Flavour
School trustee Dr Nick Wilkinson was leading a multi-year
research project on the**effects of Flavour School on**
**Reception and Key Stage 1 children**. Due to the Covid-
19 pandemic, this research had to be paused in 2020/21.
The study resumed in October 2021, and was in progress
through to March 2022, with delivery of the Flavour School
programme ongoing in five primary schools in London and
Leeds.
Building on this study, Flavour School completed the first
stage of an additional, associated research project, in the
form of user research, focused primarily on teachers,
exploring background attitudes and context for food
education interventions. We produced a report (see
appendix), that was shared initially with interested parties,
including children’s food brand Ella’s Kitchen (as the
funder/supporter of the work) and relevant policy makers at
the Department for Education.
A second stage of further research with an insight report is
planned for 2022/2023, exploring the user experiences of
teachers delivering Flavour School lessons during the
University of Leeds study.| **2. Early Years pilot/programme development** : We supported Ella’s Kitchen with scientific advice and insights on sensory food education, to develop their Eat. Play. Love campaign promoting sensory food play for Early Years settings. We also made arrangements for Flavour School exploratory research sessions in four Early Years settings, to help develop our resources for Early Years. Sessions were confirmed to begin April 2022 and we will report on these in 2022/23. ## **Financial Review** |_Review of the charity’s_
_financial position at the end_
_of the period_|Para 1.21|At the end of the period (31stMarch 2022), Flavour School
had £15,814.40 in its bank account.| |---|---|---| |_Statement explaining the_
_policy for holding reserves_
_stating why they are held_|Para 1.22|Flavour School has not formalised a written reserves
policy, but the trustees have agreed that in practice the
charity should always retain sufficient funds to cover its
expected essential annual operating expenses.| |_Amount of reserves held_|Para 1.22|n/a – but the Trustees were satisfied that there were
sufficient funds in the account throughout 2021/22 to
guarantee ongoing operations for the year and beyond.| ## **Additional information** |_The charity’s principal_
_sources of funds (including_
_any fundraising)_|Para 1.47|Flavour School’s sole source of income in 2021/22 was a
donation from children’s food brand Ella’s Kitchen, to
support the further development of the Flavour School
programme, with a particular focus on Early Years/Pre-
School, including refining the programme and the teaching
manual, and carrying out training.| |---|---|---| |_A description of the_
_principal risks facing the_
_charity_|Para 1.46|The principal risk facing Flavour School in 2021/22 was the
ongoing uncertainty related to Covid-19, about schools’
and nurseries’ ability to remain open generally and to
consistently deliver a programme of Flavour School
sessions to children.| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |_Type of governing_
