Annual Evaluation Reports
2008-09
Our funding agreement with various partners requires us to produce an Annual Evaluation Report. It outlines the characteristics of the children and young people who are selected to attend the sessions and compares them with the rest of the Local Authority to ensure we are getting a broad representation of learners.
Attendance figures are presented, with termly comparisons and explanations around particular trends that have become evident. We are proud to boast a consistently high attendance since we opened in 2004.
Most importantly, the report demonstrates our impact through various different methods which are defined within it.

Annual Reports
2007-08
Our funding agreement with various partners requires us to produce an Annual Report. The principle objective of the document is to illustrate the years’ achievements, developments and results and to set new targets for the year ahead. Our report demonstrates that we keep achieving good results and the reason for that is no secret – the real strength of the Study Centre is the collaboration of all the key partners involved in the diverse range of learning programmes.
Secondly, it is the dedication and enthusiasm of the strategy group, the centre staff and volunteers who continually put the interests of the children at the top of their agenda. Thirdly, the partnership with our major funding partners, The DCSF, Rex Hall Associates, the Local Authority and the Football Club, whose contributions are vital to the very existence and future direction of the centre. Most importantly it is the learners’ attitude and enthusiasm which continually inspire the team to come up with new and stimulating ways to innovate and develop both the programmes of study and the thrilling environment in which they learn.
