Following recent Extended Services reviews with your Head Teacher, we are pleased to announce that all 14 schools in Bedlington Partnership have achieved the Government's target of "full core offer." Schools have to show that they are providing the full range of extended services, which include access to childcare, activities, parenting support, specialist services and adult learning. Many schools are excelling in certain areas, but there are also some weak points, which we will be prioritising in our new Extended Services Partnership Plan which starts in September. This includes more opportunities for families to learn together, more structured support around being a parent, and an exciting project to help children who need extra support to learn and attend school at an early stage.
