Working Together For Safety


Our objective
To provide a strong link between extended school and children's centre.

What we did
We had a service level agreement between the school and the children's centre to cover use of shared spaces; e.g. the school uses the centre's community room for after school activities and its medical room; Sure Start use the school hall. The 3 - 4 year olds' playroom is linked by a corridor to the reception class to encourage sharing and working together.

How well it worked
This arrangement is working well, keeping the children safe and happy. It has enabled the delivery of services in a fully integrated way which is very responsive to the needs of the community we serve.

Benefits we see
Families have been keen to be actively involved and parents / carers were consulted from the start. It has maximised opportunities for staff to work together and share resources across the Foundation Stage.
