What
is an Extended School?
An Extended School
is one that provides a range of activities and services, often
beyond the school day, to help meet the needs of its pupils,
their families and the wider community.
Some of these services
may be provided by teaching and support staff working in the
school; others may be provided by outside providers at a small
charge.
To provide a richer range of activities and support for
children, young people and their families, many schools in Hampshire
have chosen to work as a community partnership with other schools
and voluntary and statutory organisations.
There is strong evidence that
extended services can help to:
-
Improve pupil attainment, self-confidence,
motivation and attendance
-
Reduce exclusion rates
-
Better enable teachers to focus on teaching
and learning
-
Enhance children’s and families’ access
to services
The Cams partnership is made
up of representatives from the following parties:
In partnership with the
above, Cams Hill School is developing the range of services
it offers and promotes to give pupils the opportunity to
enhance their learning and benefit from new experiences that
are otherwise not normally available. |
