Changes from September 2012

From September 2011 there have been a number of changes to the extended schools team:

A new name – the team is now known as the extended services team.
New partnership areas – the six extended school partnerships have been reconfigured to create four extended service locality partnerships based on the four quadrants.
Schools – the core service provided by the team is for primary and special schools.
Working practices – the team provides support to all primary and special schools through the new locality partnership structure. Individual schools can buy additional support for their school via the local authority buy back arrangements.
Staffing – each of the four locality partnerships is supported by a part-time coordinator. Additional support is provided to children’s centres and individual schools by the ES consultants.
