educational needs, providing online classes during
the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and subsequent
lockdown which began in March 2020 through to
September 2020 and repeated again in January
2021 until March 2021.
As an out of school educational setting, UKSA was
exempt from closure in the January 2021 lockdown
and therefore continued to provide face to face
classes for children of critical key workers and
vulnerable children, adhering to COVID secure
practices such as social distancing, hand hygiene,
more frequent cleaning, temperature checks on
arrival for all pupils and visitors and other related
measures to ensure that pupils and staff are kept

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|Achievements of the charity:
For over 2 years, UKSA has supported formal and
informal education of children and families, the
majority of who are from BAME backgrounds
communities. BAME communities were hit the
hardest, with families we work with struggling
financially and mentally. UKSA is a charity that is
able to reach this community and provide
education, support, information and awareness of
services and agencies where they can access
further support and keep themselves and families
safe.
In March 2021, USKA was given permission by the
Department for Education (DFE) to operate a full
time Ofsted registered early years and primary
school on its premises.
The difference we make to the circumstances of
our beneficiaries:
UKSA has continued to provide services and
support to vulnerable children and young people,
despite many suffering a reduced income as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic. UKSA has
supported families through this time.
Children will be able to attend Unique Academy
school which will enable them to access early
years and primary education, which will provide
them with an excellent foundation and prepare
them well for each stage of their learning.
The wider society benefits from UKSA:
UKSA is supporting people and communities who
are disproportionately challenged with a range of
difficulties, particularly those whose difficulties
have been exasperated by the COVID-19
pandemic.
Unique Academy children will be able to access full
time education, which will give them the
knowledge, understand and skills they need to
learn which is relevant for their age and stage of
development, as well as preparing them for the
next.| |**Additional Information**||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against objectives
