Educalis CIC provides an inclusive, bespoke educational service that empowers, supports, and encourages individuals to engage in education, training, and employment. We want the community to know that we care, that we are here to support them, with no commercial agenda, whilst providing opportunities for young people. When families, schools and communities work together, learners are more successful and the entire community benefits. This is our second financial year as a CIC, and we are continuing to promote and improve the services we offer to the local and broader community. The company’s activities and associated benefits include providing low-cost, competitive service that has made private tuition accessible and inclusive for the community, and tailoring sessions to individual learners’ needs. We continue to forge relationships with local schools and provide support to those with whom we are directly involved, such as students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. We are continuing to develop a training programme to support neurodiverse students, their caregivers, and schools. This year, we trialled a service for those who require education outside the school setting due to a challenging mainstream environment, or who are electively home educated. This involved providing alternative education for 5 students and was successful. In the next financial year, we will consider expanding this option to other learners as a general service. We continue to provide employment opportunities for young people, equipping them with valuable employability skills and training, including Emergency First Aid in the Workplace, Safeguarding, First Aid for Mental Health, and Neurodiversity, as well as our comprehensive induction training for tutors and mentors. We currently have a minimal social media presence and continue to rely on word of mouth. This year, we began marketing our intensive revision sessions, generating additional paid hours for staff. We hope to expand further in the next financial year, but we need to secure extra space to manage demand effectively. This year, we have provided training to 23 members of staff, who have delivered 4,295 tuition or training sessions for learners, of which 1452 were discounted sessions, resulting in a cost reduction of £17,864.70 for the community. It has also enabled us to provide employment and training opportunities for 22 staff members who are currently in full-time education or training. Mental health remains a priority for Educalis, which promotes and supports the well-being of all stakeholders. This year, our managing director qualified as a psychotherapist, expanding the portfolio of services we can provide to the community. Although she continues her education to recognise and diagnose neurodiversity formally, she continues to make significant contributions to our services by providing training and support to staff on Mental Health. We continue to offer Mental Health training to learners and their families. We firmly believe that well-being is fundamental to any positive learning experience, and we continue to focus our company activities on promoting mental health and neurodiverse inclusion.

The company’s stakeholders are the residents and schools of the local community and the surrounding area. The directors have developed a tutoring and mentoring business model tailored to the needs of local community residents and schools. We ask everyone who uses our tutoring and mentoring service to complete a contact details form that includes a neurodiversity questionnaire. This enables us to build a profile for each individual, allowing us to support them more effectively by taking their particular learning style and educational needs into consideration. Based on this profile, a tailored learning programme can be developed to help learners overcome any barriers to learning and reach their full academic potential. During the past financial year, we expanded our stakeholder engagement to include parental workshops, training three parents on ADHD, ASD, and SpLD. We also provided a Dyslexia Screening Service to 9 children to support the community. Our SpLD screener has temporarily suspended screening while she re-trains to diagnose formally. Furthermore, our Managing Director qualified in psychotherapy this financial year and plans to return to university to continue her studies, to identify and diagnose neurodiversity. In addition, we discussed with staff the option to become young directors of the company, a plan we intend to launch in the next financial year (2025-2026), which will offer two roles.

There are 2 directors and they are both also employees. The amount payable or receivable by them is processed through payroll and represents payment for their tutoring and management roles and employees. The gross amount for the financial year is £30,903 total for both directors. There are no further payments, transactions, or arrangements in connection with the remuneration for them as directors, of compensation for director's loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
