Extended schools
Cambridge Education @ Islington is supporting schools to develop a wide range of services that support children, parents, families and their local community. We are doing so in partnership with Islington Council and others, as set out in Islington's Extended Schools Strategy.
Many schools have been providing extended services for many years, either directly or by working in partnership with other organisations. Our aim is to build on the best of those experiences within Islington and beyond, to support schools in the borough to develop their Extended School role.
The services that schools are being encouraged to expand and develop include:
- childcare
- activities for young people
- out of hours learning and study support for pupils, including sports and arts activities
- support for parents and families
- ensuring children and young people can access more specialist services when needed
- enabling the local community to make use of school buildings and facilities
