An extended school is a school that recognises that it cannot work alone in helping children and young people to achieve their potential and therefore decides to work in partnership with the local community and agencies that have an interest in the outcomes for children and young people
Central is part of the Ashington Extended Services Partnership and is committed to achieving the 5 outcomes at the heart of the government’s “Every Child Matters” agenda.
These outcomes are that every child is able to:
- Be healthy
- Stay safe
- Enjoy and achieve
- Make a positive contribution
- Achieve economic well-being
The role of Extended Services is to ensure that a core offer of help and support is delivered to young people and their families, thus helping to deliver the 5 outcomes.
The other schools in the partnership are:
Ashington High School
Bothal Middle School
Alexandra First School
Ellington First School
Hawthorn First School
Linton First School
Pegswood First School
Wansbeck First School
