Intended Impact

Zacchaeus Club (counselling service)

We have cited social and emotional issues above. Zacchaeus Club offers a 1:1 counselling service for children who have struggled with an issue and their parents and staff feel they would benefit from this kind of support.

It is difficult to measure this type of work. The counsellor carries out her own assessments of impact (including child and parent questionnaires) and, in collaboration with parents and staff identifies if the support needs to continue for each individual. This provision is a continuation from previous years and has been very positively received by children, parents and staff.

To subsidise enrichment activities for disadvantaged families, especially the Y6 residential trip to Whitemoor Lakes.

All children enjoy the enrichment provided by the school.
