Extended schools: New guide published

26th June 2006

The new guidance is intended to help schools plan and fund their extended services in ways that will best support children, young people and their families, reflect local needs, and build on existing provision offered by their partners in the voluntary and private sectors.

A document entitled 'Planning and funding extended schools: a guide for schools, local authorities and their partner organisations' is available to download from teachernet online publications.

The teachernet website has a dedicated extended schools area. Here you will find advice and guidance on developing extended services in and around schools, funding allocations for local authorities, the extended schools prospectus outlining the vision, as well as research reports, press notices and case studies.
