Extended services toolkit for governing bodies - Governors information

A resource for governing bodies

This toolkit aims to help governing bodies support their school in making progress towards the design and delivery of extended services. It has been developed with the support of national governor organisations and is complementary to a range of sources of advice that governors can use in order to carry out this role.
