03 Extend Booklet 2009 Foreword from Headteachers
Dear Parents and Carers
DEVELOPING OUR EXTENDED SERVICES
By 2010 schools have to ensure that children, young people and their families have access to a core offer of extended services. This means:
· Access to high quality childcare for primary school children and a safe place to be for older children. · A varied menu of activities and study support to enhance achievement and broaden interests. · Access to parenting support and advice, including information sessions for parents and carers of pupils starting school or on transfer to secondary school, curriculum evenings and also parenting programmes and family learning where consultation has shown there is a demand. · Swift and easy access to other services to ensure children with additional needs are well supported through integrated working with other organisations in the statutory, voluntary and community sector. · Community access to appropriate facilities in schools such as ICT suites, sports and arts facilities and access for adult learning where consultation has shown there is a community need.
Schools will provide these services where appropriate or alternatively provide signposts to other partners and services available elsewhere.
Our Extended Schools Coordinator has been working with our family of schools to help us develop and deliver these services. All of the schools now offer a variety of activities for pupils, before or after school and at lunchtimes, which are well attended. Many of you have attended sessions for parents and carers that have been offered this year such as our curriculum evenings and open days. We are keen to offer more and would welcome any suggestions about information and advice you would like to receive. Schools receive a small amount of government funding for developing extended services but our Coordinator has been able to access additional funds on our behalf from a number of sources to help us. For example, funding from Sport Unlimited to deliver free sport sessions in some of the schools and from the Food Standards Agency, which supported the What’s Cooking Club at the high school last summer and funding to support Summer Holiday Playschemes.
This is the second edition of our booklet as part of our extended services to offer you a one-stop directory of information about our schools, community organisations, local and national services. This year we have also included details of activities and clubs available Introduction Introduction in the area. Other sources of information will also be available but we hope that this will be a helpful guide for you and your family throughout your child’s time in our schools and beyond.

All of the schools in our family offer a range of activities for children and young people to enjoy, usually after school but sometimes before school and at lunchtimes. Many of these are run by teachers and teaching assistants on a voluntary basis and this is very much appreciated. Other activities are delivered by private providers, local sports coaches, tutors and clubs.
We are able to offer some activities free of charge and others at a subsidised rate from our extended schools funds and other grants we have been given: in some cases it is necessary for a charge to be made to cover the cost of tutors, ingredients and equipment but our aim is to keep any costs at a reasonable rate. For families on very low incomes, schools may be able to help you with the cost to enable all children and young people to have access to activities.
All the activities we offer are designed to enhance their enjoyment at school and to contribute to their progress and development by giving them opportunities to try different things, learn new skills, develop confidence and self esteem and, perhaps most importantly, to have fun!
A variety of activities are available in our schools from sport to cookery, gardening to chess club, computer skills, arts and crafts. Last year, supported by a grant from Sport Unlimited, cheerleading, skip fit, baton twirling and dance were also available to some pupils. Summer Holiday Playschemes are planned at Fleckney, Great Glen and Kibworth.
Each school has its own range of activities: please enquire at the school office for more information and look out for information about new opportunities in school newsletters.
It is also clear from talking to children and young people that many of them take part in a Activities for Children Children for Activities wide range of activities and hobbies outside of school. The following pages contain contact details for many clubs and organisations available in our area which we hope will be a helpful signpost for you.
