Extra resources for extended services
Thursday, 13 November 2008
Parents and schools are to benefit from a host of new resources designed to promote and improve extended services.
At a government conference last week, the Department of Children, Schools and Families launched an online directory of extended service provision nationwide, a leaflet to advise parents on how to work with schools, and an extended schools publicity toolkit for schools and local authorities.
Children's minister Beverley Hughes said the resources would help parents play a bigger role in shaping extended services. "By speaking to school staff and discussing the needs of their family and the community, parents can drive provisions in their area and encourage schools to provide a full range of extended services."
