Extended School
Schools located at the heart of the community are well placed to take up the challenge of making Every Child Matters a reality for children, young people and communities.
The publication Extended Schools: Building on Experience sets out a core offer of services that all children should be able to access through schools by 2010.
The core offer includes:
- A varied range of activities including study support, sport and music clubs, combined with childcare in primary schools
- Parenting and family support
- Swift and easy access to targeted and specialist services
- Community access to facilities including adult and family learning, ICT and sports grounds
