Extended Schools
|
 |
South Gloucestershire Council is committed to supporting school
clusters in the development of extended activities and services that
enhance the learning opportunities of children and young people. We
are encouraging schools to work in partnership with families, local
communities and other Local Authority services to develop both new and
existing projects. The South Gloucestershire Strategy places school
clusters at the heart of the decision making process.
The Extended Schools Strategy Manager will act as a focal point for the
Extended Schools agenda. The Strategy Manager will work closely
with, and support, the school clusters as they develop Extended Schools
activities and services, and the co-ordination of various Local Authority
services and external providers working in partnership with a school or
cluster.

A new team of Play Rangers started work in the South
Gloucestershire on the 9th October 2006.
The Play Rangers will inspire children ages 5 – 15 to go out to
their local parks and play by creating secure environments for
them to access. Though consultation they aim to support the
children to improve play opportunities in their areas including
fixed equipment in parks and facilities for young people making
the areas more child/young person centred.
