From 2010 all schools are expected to achieve the government core offering in extended services which compromises the following five elements;
Benefits of providing extended services?
more motivated pupils
better attendance and behaviour
more engaged and better equipped parents
greater willingness to adopt healthier lifestyles, and
better community access to local services.
How we can help?
We can help schools provide a wide and varied menu of activities. Research carried out by Ofsted shows that the wider the range of activities on offer, the higher the participation rate.
We can help schools provide access to high quality childcare between the hours of 8am and 6pm in the form after school clubs and breakfast clubs.
What extended services do we offer?
We provide Breakfast Clubs, Lunchtime Clubs, After School Clubs and Holiday clubs.
EDs Clubs (Breakfast, Lunchtime and After School Clubs)
EDs clubs aim to organise activities with the purpose of stimulating and engaging each child and allowing them a fun opportunity to try their hand at new activities and sports they may not otherwise have the opportunity to take part in. All lessons provided by us are structured to help enhance the children's understanding while learning and developing their skills in a fun and constructive environment.
Depending on your schools facilities we can provide the children with breakfast, snacks and drinks.
The clubs are also an excellent form of additional childcare which most working parents require.
Holiday Clubs
EDs can help organise a holiday activity courses either for individual schools or for a cluster. Children can come together and enjoy learning new skills and take part in new and exciting activities.
Programs can run from half a day to a full day for as many days as you like in the school holiday period. The usual times are 9am-3.15pm.
