This was a chance to ask questions and share experiences of developing extended services in and around schools. Extended schools provide access, in partnership with local providers, to before and after school activities, support for parents, referral to health and social care services and ICT, sports/arts facilities and adult learning for the wider community. There is evidence that extended services are helping to
- improve pupil attainment, behaviour and confidence
- better enable teachers to focus on teaching and learning
- enhance access to services for children and families
