Extended Schools – A Guide for Governors I explores the opportunities and challenges of the government’s extended schools programme and looks at what it means for governors and governance. It gives an overview on extended schools and sets it in a strategic context of different government initiatives.

The guide also looks at the governance issues of delivering extended services – including community consultation, finance, and operational implications.

Different models of delivery are examined in detail and supported by case studies describing the approaches being applied in schools around the country.

It can be ordered from the National Governors Council by calling 0121 643 5787 or emailing governorhq@nasg.org.uk. Quote reference NRT/0103/2006.
