Our target is for all schools in England to be providing access to the extended schools full core offer of services by 2010 with half of all primary schools and a third of all secondary schools providing these services by September 2008. To help us meet our target we are aiming to have 6,000 schools delivering access to the full core offer of services by September 2007. With over 5,700 schools already providing these services, we are making excellent progress towards meeting our target.
The extended schools core offer of services includes primary schools providing access to child care from 8 am to 6 pm all year round in response to demand, all schools offering access to a range of study support activities beyond the school day, parenting support, swift and easy referral and opening up facilities to the wider community.
