We hope everyone had a restful break over the holidays! Here are our highlights from this week:
We started the week at Queen Elizabeth’s Academy, where Karolina introduced the Steps to Success programme to a group of Year 10s. This is the first of many interventions this group of high achievers will be taking part in, and we’re super excited to continue our work with them.
Our Steps to Success programme also visited Springwell Community College, where learners explored resilience techniques with Natalie Smallwood, which was very fitting for the new year!
We welcomed learners from the St Andrew’s School on the Supported Insight Scheme ran by Direct Education Business Partnership (CIO) and Cheryl Bowler, where DANCOP have volunteered as a host employer. Natalie and Anna welcomed the learners to DANCOP and University of Derby and also introduced the clothes swap project that the learners will take part in during in their time with us. We are very much looking forward to working with these learners over the next 5 weeks!
