By 2010, the full core offer of extended services is intended to be in place in every school:

  • Primary Schools - access to childcare 8am - 6pm, 5 days per week, 48 weeks per year + a varied menu of activities (study support).
  • Secondary Schools - access to a varied menu of study support and enrichment activities + a safe place to be.
  • Access to parenting support + signpost sources of information, advice and support.
  • Swift and easy access to support services (for children with additional needs).
  • Community access to appropriate school facilities such as for ICT, sports and arts + access to adult learning.

Hertfordshire has chosen to use the consortium as a means of achieving the extended services provision. Thus schools and their communities are clustered together in a consortium - one for each clearly defined area of the county: a total of 38 consortia.

There are five consortia within the East Herts District Council area. Our Consortium (number 13) is known as WAVES - Ware And Villages Extended Schools. It includes 14 Primary, 2 Secondary and 3 Special Schools as well as two Children’s Centres.
