Extended Schools

By 2010 all schools are to provide access to a core offer of extended services with half of all primary and third of all secondary doing so by 2008.

Extended schools must provide:

• A varied menu of activities
• Quality childcare
• Early identification and support
• Parenting programmes (including family learning)
• Community access

All Gateshead schools are clustered around secondary schools and their traditional feeder primaries to provide this core offer.
