Achievements in the year
From May 2023 to July 2023. we completed our pilot partnership with Darlinghurst Primary School
and cultural partner Southend Theatre5 {https.-//trafalgartickets.com/cliffs-pavilion-southend/en-
GB/sOUthend-theatresl, delivering our final 2 x 6 week hero's Journey progiammes (Summer l and
SummerTerm 2). Overall we delivered 6 x 6-week Hero's Joumey programmes that benefited 36
vulnerable children- some of whom were refugees. Thi5 Vltal work enhanced pupil-teacher
relationships and confidence across the board.
In the school's principal. Mrs Emma Harris's own words=
"Our children will never forget the experiences they had. We always tell them to believe in the
power of possibility and posses5 the character and emotional resilience to succeed. This experience
gave them one of those magical moments! Their confidence, charatter, and cultural capital have
grown because of the opportunity, investment. and care you have all shown."
"It has been such a fantastic journey for us all. So impressive to see the children come out of their
shells and show the best versions of themselves. A wonderful opportunitythatthey will keep
forever. Thank you to you and your team- such wonderful people- hearts of gold."
As a resutt of this, the team was invited bythe Mr5 Harris as Guest Speakers for their Shaping the
Futures Event. where we ran workshops throughout the day that benefited over 300 children from
Key Stages l & 2.
During that time, we built relationships with two new London schools". Christopher Hattor7 Primary
School, Clerkenwell. and Our Lady and St George's. WaSthamstow, where 18 children participated in
our "Day in the Life of a West End Star" workshops. In these workshops, the children met
professional performers and performed their work on stsge. sUPPOrted by world-class theatre
technicians.

In the Autumn of 2023, we piloted 2 x Hero's Journey Programmes wtth 6 children from Wrabness
and Wix Primary School. Manningtree E55ex, and 6 children from Our Lady and St George's Primary
School in London. This proved to be an extraordinary adventure for the children.
Over five weeks, as they crafted their projects, the expert guidance provided by the Caedmon
Company team paved the way for an afternoon immersed in the life of a professional artist, with the
chance to perform on stage provided by our cultural partners Nimax Theatre. The Criterion Theatre.
and The Mercury Theatre Essex.
In the school's own words:
The professionalism of the Caedmon Companyteam shone through not only in their interactrons
with the children but also in their seamless communication with us at the school. Their adeptness at
building relationships and sharing skills made thi5 a very high-quality project and an extremely
worthwhile experience for all involved.
The children were chosen for specific reasons. rangingfrom lack of confidence to adverse childhood
experiences. but whatever their starhng point, every child gained a great deal from the whole
experience in terms of personal development and developing a love for the arts."
In the heroes, own words:
"I really enjoyed watching the others and learning how to 5UPPOrt them... it made me happy and
actually raised my rnood on a Friday."
"I looked forward to it every week and still can't believe I performed my piece on a proper stage.,
"l enjoyed it because it felt fun and happy.
"It made me feel confident about performin&"
The staff were helpful, supportive, playful. and kind... They let us be creative and free and didn't
force us to do it their way."
"It was good working in a small group."
"I really hope we can do it again."
Without reservation. I wholeheartedly recommend this program and eagerly anticipate the prospect
of collaborating with the company in the future.
In September 2023, we began a year-long educational partnership with Soho Parish Primary School,
London, and Delfont Mackintosh Theatre that will again benefit 36 vulnerable children.
