We have listed a selection of the most common questions asked and this page in time will aim to answer the majority of these, however if in the meantime you have any questions or issues that you would like answering then you can get in touch with the confederation using the details on our Contacts page.
What are Extended Services?
Extended Services are a key way of delivering the Every Child Matters agenda. An extended school works with local providers, agencies (and in many cases other schools) to provide access to a core offer of extended services:
How is the Confederation Funded?
Funding is allocated to Extended Confederations from Surrey County Council on a formula that combines an element of funding per member school and a per pupil element. Funding will be provided for 3 years after which time the Confederation will be responsible for funding its own activities, therefore it important that all the services provided meet the demands of the area and are well-used and received.
How much will activities cost?
This will depend on the type of activity. For the activity partnerships, the cost will be the resposibility of the individual group that you are dealing with. For activities provided by the Confederation, we will aim to keep the cost as low as possible to enable everyone to have the opportunity of taking part. Some of the activities will be free of charge, although there may be a charge for refreshments if provided.
Will there be any transport to after school activities?
The option of transport between the local schools to activities can only be investigated when the information from the consultation process has been collated.
