Extended Schools - a Toolkit for Governors [NGA]
The Extended Services Toolkit for Governors is made up of five modules designed to help governors assess the progress of their school when considering the development of extended services. It will help governors to identify their priorities for action, with each module focusing on a different theme related to extended services provision.
It can be used as a checklist or self-evaluation framework for schools already providing the extended services core offer in full, help schools that are still developing their extended services and for schools starting out, it can be used to kick-start the process and connect the school to the local authority's extended services roll-out programme.
