Extended Schools
An Extended School is one which provides a range of activities
and services often beyond the school day to pupils, parents and the
wider community. The first Extended School in the Royal Borough,
Sion Manning, was one of a dozen pilot schools across the London
area.
The Extended School aims to play an active role in the lives of
those individuals that are part of that community. Reaching out to
families in many different ways is critical if their child's
achievement is to be maximised. An Extended School becomes a place
to welcome students, young people and their families and other
community groups that are committed to the academic and emotional
well being of each individual and the community as a whole.
