Extended Schools and Children's Centres (Extended Services)

Welcome to the electronic home of Extended Services in Bury!

Throughout these pages we hope to give you a valuable insight into exactly what is meant by Extended Services, what this means to you and how you can get involved.
Extended Services are crucial in carrying out the Government’s Every Child Matters agenda and ensuring that:

Every child, whatever their background or their circumstances, will have the support they need to:

• Be healthy
• Stay safe
• Enjoy and achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic well-being

This is no small task and whilst it will mainly be delivered through Extended Schools & Children’s Centres this is something that involves all areas of the community across all sectors.
