Impact Report 2022

9 IMPACT REPORT

TEDDIES COLLABORATES Pupils mostly had positive experiences while carrying out their service roles but have sometimes found it difficult to grasp the scale of the responsibility or opportunity they had been given and not always appreciated the impact they could make. We have therefore restructured the timetable to provide a dedicated and sustainable time allocation each week to enable all 180 Lower Sixth pupils to benefit from the service opportunities and we have compiled a training course to empower them in their new roles. This new programme is called Teddies Collaborates. Teddies Collaborates now follows the IB principles as detailed below.

1. Investigation Our pupils will be given a choice of which organisations they would like to work with. 2. Preparation All pupils will complete a six-week training course before they begin their placement. This training will be delivered by internal and external partners and will include: • What do I expect and what is expected of me? • Social enterprise: How charitable businesses operate and how can my role add value? • Safeguarding and first aid in the workplace. • Narrating your own story and learning coping strategies to enable you to achieve it. • Cultural awareness, mitigation and support. How do I handle difficult or unusual situations? • Risk assessment and personal impact evaluation.

3. Action Pupils will be supported throughout their year-long placement by the Partnerships team, HMs, Tutors and through the new wellbeing curriculum. 4. Reflection ImpactEd is an award-winning social enterprise that supports schools and educational organisations to evaluate their impact, learn from it, and prioritise what is working best to improve outcomes for young people. All our pupils will complete an impact evaluation survey at the beginning and end of their experience and all data will be aligned with national statistics providing valuable intelligence for our pupils about how they have developed during the year. Our partnership with ImpactEd is also extended to five state schools who feel they could benefit from using their technology free of charge. 5. Demonstration Our report next year will contain statistical data from both our pupils and partners to help shape our programme in the future.
