Extended
Services – more than just your average school day!
What
are extended services?
Extended services used to be referred to as extended schools – don’t
let the name change confuse you! Extended schools are exactly that – schools
which have extended the range of services they provide. These ‘extended
services’ are not only for the students of the school, but also for their
families and the wider community.
These services may include childcare, support for parents, adult learning classes,
access to specialist services such as health, and a range of activities for children
and their families. Extended Services work closely with libraries, Adult Education,
Children’s Centres, the School Sports Partnership, the Youth Service and
other organisations to develop these services.
Why are extended services important?
There
is evidence that by extending services it can help to:
|
| |
• Improve
student attendance, behaviour, self-confidence and motivation, and
therefore potential for impact on achievement
• Better enable teachers to focus on teaching and learning
• Enhance access to services for children, young people and families
• Support vulnerable children and their families
• Provide wider community access to ICT, sports and arts facilities
|
What’s
happening at Sherburn High?
At
Sherburn High School we are already providing a range of extended
services and facilities for the students and the wider community
throughout the school day, before and after school hours, and during
some weekends and school holidays.
We currently offer
|
| |
• A
wide range of extra-curricular activities – such as sports
clubs,
science, drama, and music
• Family and adult education classes
• Support services for parents – this includes Positive Parenting
courses
• Community access to sports facilities and room hire after school, weekends
and during holidays. We currently hire out sports facilities to people in the
local community and the Youth Service runs a club twice a week.

facilities, please contact Sherburn High School who will be able

What’s
happening in the rest of Sherburn?

services are supported in Sherburn High as part of a ‘cluster’.
