Extended Schools
By 2010 it is intended that all schools will become extended schools, that is they will offer a range of services to children and parents throughout the year and outside normal school hours

Schools are being encouraged to work in partnership with the private and voluntary sectors - including churches. The Consultative Group of Ministry amongst Children (CGMC) has put together a leaflet to help churches think about how thay might be involved.
