Extended schools conference, Thurs 19 May 2005
Extended schools conference, Thursday 19 May 2005, 8.45am - 4.30pm,
Barnsbury Centre, Offord Road, Islington N1
An ‘extended’ school is one with a wide range of services for children and
families, and is usually open beyond the normal school day. Extended schools
may offer study support, childcare and activities for young people, support
for parents and families, swift access to more specialist services when
needed, and community access to school facilities. Our aim is that all
Islington schools become extended schools.
The conference will provide the opportunity for all those working with
children and young people to shape the development of Extended Schools in
Islington.
We will:
explore how schools can work in partnership with other agencies, parents and
the local community to support positive outcomes for children
learn from examples of good practice that already exist within the borough,
and elsewhere
look at how Every Child Matters will impact upon the new OFSTED inspection
framework
explore the implications for leaders and managers in schools and other agencies
