Description

By 2010, under the new Every Child Matters government initiative, all primary and secondary schools are expected to be offering extended services outside normal school hours. This programme follows the headteacher and the newly appointed Extended School Coordinator at Cheviot Junior School in South Tyneside, as they prepare to offer extended services at their school with the help of parents and pupils. It covers the appointment of the coordinator, planning and consultation over breakfast clubs, and after school activities involving parents.
