What is an Extended School?
Extended schools provide access to a core offer of extended services:
These are:
- All year round wrap around childcare from 8am until 6pm
- Parenting and family support
- A varied range of activities including study support, sport and music clubs
- Swift and easy referral to specialist services such as speech therapy
- Community use of facilities including adult and family learning and ICT.
These will often be provided before or after the school day but not necessarily by teachers or on the school site.

- Improve pupil attendance, self-confidence, motivation and pupil attainment
