Extended Schools
What is an extended school?
Extended school services are designed to help you balance work and family commitments, support your children with their studies and give them a broader range of experiences and interests.
They also enable you and the wider community to make use of the school's facilities. For example, you could learn more about information and communications technology (ICT) or improve your writing and maths skills.
Some schools may also offer services to the local community like information about healthy eating and nutrition or advice on managing finances. This could include debt counselling and availability of welfare and benefits.
Do all schools provide extended services?
By 2010, all schools will provide a full range of services - some will be free but others, like childcare, will be charged for.
