Learn from the research
Research cited the link between extended provision and
improvements in standards of attainment.
The investigation by the universities of Newcastle and
Manchester found that extended services can help
individuals and families re-engage with learning and can
have a significant impact on their life chances.
This research "confirms that extended services not only
benefit children, young people, their families and wider
communities but the schools which offer them can
expect to see a positive impact on their academic
results". Beverley Hughes
Ofsted’s key findings on extended
schools is encouraging:
“The major benefits to
children young people and
adults were enhanced selfconfidence , improved
relationships, raised
aspirations and better
attitudes to learning.”
“ Schools, children’s centres and
local authorities made intelligent
use of the local networks of
statutory and voluntary services
when setting up extended
services across an area”.
“Pupils has a greater
sense of ownership of
what went on in their
school. When they chose
the activities , the services
were sustained, varied and
innovative.
“The vast majority of parents
who participated in training or
used the support services were
highly satisfied with what was
provided”.
