What is an "Extended School"?
By 2010 the Government want more things happening in
schools over and above the traditional school day. They want to see:
·
All schools and children and families to be able to
access a core of extended services developed in partnership with
other organisations and the local community.
·
All secondary
schools open from 8am to 6pm all year round, offering a range of
activities for young people.
We
are working together within a cluster of local schools to push
forward this Government initiative. Our new school building will
also help us to drive the Extended Schools programme forward with
improved facilities for community use. You can find more information
on the Extended Schools Programme on the local authority website at

"We live and learn"
In
the 21st century learning does not have to stop when you
leave school or college.
`Lifelong Learning` is about continuing to learn in many
different ways be it reading a book, exploring the internet,
mastering a new skill, training for a job, taking a course
for fun or studying for a qualification.
Learning throughout your life can help you live a longer,
healthier and happier life.
What do I get from learning? Learning has the power to
transform us.
We can become successful at home, at work, at large in our
local community. Learning can help us to solve problems
and change our attitudes. It can be fun and it can be
challenging.

Wandsworth please go to the following website:

The Wandsworth Fun and Fitness Programme is aimed at encouraging
young people to be physically active in schools and at home.

children and develop positive physical and nutrition habits for
a lifetime of good health.
