Castle School is for students with an EHCP and facing specific and often very complex physical, educational and social challenges, 2.

CoDR Teachers all reported and recorded improved engagement and confidence amongst participants in the classes over the time period. Castle teachers reported that this was a popular class amongst students and teachers and something they looked forward to every week. 4. Work on establishing a qualitative reporting structure for participants was begun, so that the impact of the dance classes on participants over time can be recorded and reported back to the school, the students and their |

6. Covid-19 brought classes to a halt in March 2020 and since then, no classes have been possible. Mayfield School were unable to start anything new within the school during the pandemic, so that conversation was paused.
