A: Supplementary schools are often actively included in the planning and delivery of extended services across the country and they can contribute to the core offer and community cohesion by, for example: providing study support activities, such as language classes, cultural activities and teaching, and holiday clubs; delivering family learning sessions and parenting classes in partnership with local trainers; providing advice to newly-arrived families and supporting newly-arrived children as they enrol into mainstream education; supporting users with little or no English to access services more effectively.
Supplementary schools usually struggle to find affordable and suitable teaching premises, so they would always welcome the possibility of using mainstream classrooms and premises. The National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education can provide you with support and advice. Visit www.supplementaryeducation.org.uk.
