Extended Services
Next Extended Services selection round underway
The selection process for the second four Extended Services is now underway. Extended Services are school-based Out of School Service programmes that receive extra help to extend the range of activities they offer to provide stimulating, healthy activities for children of all ages from five to their 14th birthday. Extended Services:
- receive three-year guaranteed funding to extend their Out of School Service programmes
- talk to their local communities, children and young people to see what sorts of activities they want to see offered
- focus on improving the health and general wellbeing of children and young people at their programmes.
The Government will fund twelve Extended Services in low-decile, urban schools by 2010. The first Extended Services began operating in February 2008 and Expressions of Interest are now invited from Out of School Service providers for the next four Extended Services.
