Extended Schools

Making a difference

"An extended school is a school that recognises that it cannot work alone in helping children and young people to achieve their potential, and therefore decides to work in partnership with others who have an interest in outcomes for children. In doing so it not only meets the needs of the school but shares in meeting the wider needs of the community". DCSF 2004

"Extended Schools provide a range of services and activities, often beyond the school day, to help meet the needs of children, their families, and the wider community". DCSF Prospectus 2005
