Abstract

This report presents the findings from the final year of the three-year evaluation of the national full service extended schools (FSES) initiative. It draws on these and on the work of the previous two years to reach overall conclusions about the initiative. The FSES initiative was launched by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) in 2003. The original aim was to support the development in every local authority (LA) area of one or more schools which provide a comprehensive range of services, including access to health services, adult learning and community activities as well as study support and 8am to 6pm childcare. Local FSES projects received funding from DfES, and came on stream in each of three successive years. Most FSES served areas of disadvantage and in the first year were located in Behaviour Improvement Programme areas. By the end of the initiative, 138 schools were involved, together with a further 10 funded through the London Challenge. [Publisher summary, ed]
