By 2010, the Government wants all children, young people and families to be able to access a variety of activities and services in or through schools. Schools may choose to provide these services themselves or may work in partnership with neighbouring schools and partners in the community to provide these services.
The core offer for extended services in maintained and special schools is:
-
Childcare: high quality, affordable childcare around the school day, all year round (primary schools only)
-
Activities: a varied menu of activities, for example sport, music tuition, drama etc, including study support
-
Swift and easy access: to a wide range of specialist support services, for example speech therapy, family support and specialist services
-
Parenting support opportunities, including family learning and information
-
Community use of school buildings: wider community access to computing, sports and arts facilities, including adult learning
These pages have been produced for all parents and carers within the South Dartmoor Learning Community. It aims to provide a quick reference guide to all the services for children in the area. Information for each organisation, consists mainly of phone numbers and web links for you to find out more. This information is given in good faith but no responsibility is taken for the services and activities described.
