What is an Extended School?
Extended schools are schools that provide a range of services and activites often beyond the school day to help meet the needs of their pupils, families and the wider community. By 2010, as part of the Every Child Matters agenda, all schools are to offer access to the core offer of extended schools.
What are Extended Schools Clusters?
Within Gateshead, extended services are being developed in "clusters" made up of a group of primary schools and one secondary school. The clusters are named after the secondary school in that cluster. Special schools are also included in their geographical areas.
St Peter’s is in the Cardinal Hume Cluster.
