Extended Schools Programme

In MI 109/07, schools were informed that the Norfolk Extended Schools programme has been modified to better fit where schools and clusters are now in this agenda and to reflect any changes to core offer definitions. As a result, we are offering 4 separate support modules:

Module 1: Introduction to the Extended Schools Programme
Module 2: Moving Forward and Planning
Module 3: Consultation
Module 4: Planning for Sustainability

which can be accessed in total, or on a 'pick and mix' basis, from the Autumn Term onwards. For more information on dates and times, please click here.

• For those schools/clusters that have not yet accessed the training programme, this includes a contribution towards supply costs and expenses on a pro-rata basis, depending on attendance at one, some, or all of the modules. Schools/clusters will need to contact their area based Early Years, Childcare and Extended Schools Development Worker to discuss their participation, including bringing along any potential partners to workshop events.



• For those schools/clusters that have already accessed the training programme but feel that, at this stage, one or more of the modules would be of benefit, it is possible to attend an appropriate workshop. However, there will be no contribution to supply/expenses although the modules are free. Schools/clusters will need to contact their area based Early Years, Childcare and Extended Schools Development Worker to discuss their attendance.

For any general query on this, please contact either Peter Simmonds or Virginia Wakely in Children's Services on 01603 638092.
