SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME AND SPENDING
2023-24
Walker Riverside Academy offered a 4 day Summer School at the end of the 6 week holidays from Tuesday 29th August until Friday 1st September. The purpose of running the Summer School was to give students the opportunity to have a ’head start’ for starting the new term by building new friendships and gaining confidence.
We offered a bespoke package that aimed to cater to all students including those with special educational needs. We offered places to 100 students and a total of 78 students attended each day. We received a funding allocation of £10,000.
The focus of the Summer School changed in 2023 to 'Making Memories' and, as such, we offered various activities to ensure students had opportunities to have fun, work as a team, be creative and practice a skill. In addition, we ensured all students had physical activity each day and enjoyed a hot healthy balanced meal. Students explored healthy eating and nutrition too.
The Summer School was staffed by various members of staff including senior and middle leaders, pastoral staff, support staff, teachers, technicians and members of staff from the SEND team. These staff were chosen specifically to support students as well as those staff who will work closely with Year 7 when they arrive with us in September. The total cost for staff to plan and deliver these sessions and supervise social time amounted to £8412.
The catering costs plus the costs of all of the resources needed to offer the varied sessions including cookery, arts and crafts and keyring design (to name a few) as well as certificates and prizes to celebrate achievements and attendance amounted to £1588.
