## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**The period covered by this annual**<br>**report has been partially restricted by**<br>**the Covid-19 pandemic, and impacted**<br>**by the experiences of the school and**<br>**students adjusting to self-isolation and**<br>**changed routines in the school day, as**<br>**well as a lot of (non-Radiates) staff**<br>**sickness, which had an impact on**<br>**delivery of Radiates teachers.**<br>**The period has seen a partial cessation**<br>**of teaching activities.  Classes at Castle**<br>**School were resumed in November**<br>**2021, and then the year progressed as**<br>**expected with regular weekly classes.**<br>**However, staff absence in the host**<br>**school has put an enormous pressure**<br>**on the Radiates teachers this year as**<br>**they have had more children some**<br>**weeks than planned, and a regular**<br>**change of different teachers and TAs to**<br>**work with.  The teachers have been**<br>**incredibly resilient in making in the**<br>**moment adjustments to deliver a**<br>**positive experience to the students and**<br>**to work with the host school each week,**<br>**in very unpredictable situations.**<br>**Castle School affirmed their**<br>**thankfulness for and delight with the**<br>**programme and the benefits established**<br>**within the school as a result.  They also**<br>**acknowledged that the Radiates staff**<br>**had gone above and beyond in their**<br>**commitment and engagement with staff**<br>**and pupils during the year.  They**<br>**particularly highlighted the well-being**|





**benefit to the pupils this year, and anecdotally noted the continued social and physical benefits achieved each week in specific students. Work on development of assessment criteria was paused again, as there was not a consistent groups of children who experienced the programme across the year, so each week was taken as a complete experience, and specific individual child experiences logged with their teachers as they happened. Implementing a year-long and consistent evaluation process is identified as a clear target to address in the following year, and work was begun by the team on identifying the appropriate measures.**

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|**We were not able to complete a full year**<br>**at Castle School due to the Covid-19**<br>**pandemic.  This objective is now rolled**<br>**forward as a year 2 objective.**<br>**A general review was completed of all of**<br>**the programme’s processes,**<br>**evaluations and content at the year end,**<br>**with thorough one-to-one discussions**<br>**completed between Imogen Knight and**<br>**each of the teachers, two year-end**<br>**assessment visits to the school and a**<br>**group review meeting.  Imogen Knight**<br>**also engaged with the host school head**<br>**to review the implementation of the**<br>**programme and evaluate the best route**<br>**forward.  At the completion of the**<br>**process, the team jointly agreed to**<br>**return to first principles in the**<br>**implementation of the curriculum at**<br>**Castle School with a consistent set of**<br>**pupils who would receive reports and**<br>**assessments.  Joint team sessions**<br>**would also be increased to improve**<br>**contact and support time outside the**<br>**classes themselves.  This was**<br>**supported by the head of Castle School**<br>**and put in place for September.**<br>**Due to the repercussions of Covid**<br>**Pandemic we were unable to start**<br>**classes in a mainstream primary school,**<br>**and even though at the end of the**<br>**previous period, discussions were re-**<br>**initiated positively, this has not come to**<br>**fruition – schools are really stretched in**<br>**time and resources, as are the charity’s**<br>**staff.**|

|||**Recruitment will be reviewed next year.**<br>**One member off the teaching team has**<br>**requested to step down from regular**<br>**teaching, though has offered herself as**<br>**a cover teacher.  We will look to recruit a**<br>**4th teacher to complete the Castle**<br>**School team before expanding again.**|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|**Due to the ‘long tail’ of recovering from**<br>**the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity has**<br>**not met its fundraising objectives for**<br>**this period. A trustee made a significant**<br>**donation to ensure that the work could**<br>**continue and teachers be paid as the**<br>**year started and Colours of Dance**<br>**continues to fund studio space for**<br>**teacher training sessions and meetings.**<br>**At the end of this period, as part of the**<br>**general assessment, Colours of Dance**<br>**offered some administrative support**<br>**hours from a member of staff (3hrs/wk)**<br>**to assist with fundraising, admin tasks**<br>**(such as collating the evaluations and**<br>**producing student reports) and**<br>**developing a standalone website.  This**<br>**support will begin from the start of the**<br>**next period.  We identified the need to**<br>**make a video/showreel of the work so**<br>**that potential funders could understand**<br>**the work more effectively.  The trustees**<br>**asked for stories a from the work which**<br>**they could share with their networks.**|
