Extended Services

Oasis Academy Lord's Hill works in a local cluster of schools to deliver Extended Services to the local community.

The Lordshill school cluster is made up of the following schools:

Cedar School, Fairisle Junior School, Fairisle Infant School, Oakwood Junior School, Oakwood Infant School, Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, Shirley Warren Primary School and Sinclair Primary School.


Our Vision Statement
Working in partnership together to improve the life chances of our community.
Our aim is to be at the heart of our community, providing a range of locally determined activities and services.

What is Full Service Provision?
Full Service Provision is part of the government’s extended services – extended schools initiative to develop a range of services and activities, often beyond the school day, to help meet the needs of its pupils, their families and the wider community.   (Adapted from Extended Schools: Providing Opportunities and Services for All: DfES 2002)

The government has set a core offer of extended services, which all schools are expected to provide by 2010. The core offer is made up of five elements:
• childcare (in primary and special schools)
• a varied menu of activities including study support, sport and music clubs
• swift and easy access to targeted and specialist services
• parenting support including family learning
• community access to facilities including adult and family learning, ICT and sports facilities.

Schools are not expected to provide these services alone, or necessarily to deliver them on site. Instead, they should work in partnership with other schools and agencies, including voluntary and community organisations, signposting existing services where appropriate. Schools are expected to consult widely with pupils, families, their own staff and the wider community to identify priorities and needs.

What's currently on offer? Each of the schools in the cluster offer a range of afterschool clubs and activities. The schools also directly offer, or have access to Family Support and Parenting professionals. Holiday activities and adult and family learning courses are offered from Oasis Academy Lord's Hill and the Warren Centre, Chestnut Road, Southampton (part of the Shirley Warren Learning Campus).

Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
