The Department for Education and Skills has set out a core offer of extended services which they want all children and families to be able to access by 2010. Schools will work together and in partnership with others to achieve this aim.

Cambridgeshire’s approach

Local Authorities are responsible for the planning of extended services. CambridgeshireÕs approach involves the core offer being made available in and around clusters of schools within a locality area, linking with other agencies and providers.

Locality managers, in some cases supported by an Extended Schools coordinator, are working closely with the clusters to draw together the delivery of the extended schools
core offer. Debbie Heath is the Co-ordinator for this cluster of schools.

Since April 2006 additional government funding has been provided for this development.
