From Cutty Sark to Airbus- the potential for
extended schools and their communities

• 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
  other agencies that have an interest in outcomes
  for children and young people, and with the local
  community. In doing so, it aims to help meet not
  only the schools objectives but also to share in
  helping to meet the wider needs of children,
  young people, families and their community.
