Introduction
Department for Education and Skills 2004 - "An Extended School is a school that recognises that it cannot work alone in helping children and young people to achieve their potential, and therefore decides to work in partnership with other agencies that have an interest in outcomes for children and young people, and with the local community. In doing so, it aims to help meet the wider needs of children, young people, families and their community".
South Gloucestershire Council is committed to supporting school clusters in the development of extended activities and services that enhance the learning opportunities of children and young people. We are encouraging schools to work in partnership with families, local communities and other Local Authority services to develop both new and existing projects. The South Gloucestershire Strategy places school clusters at the heart of the decision making process.
