Community access
Opening up facilities to the public can help strengthen our schools’ position as the ‘hub’ of community life and generate valuable income.
We are opening up facilities such as information and communications technology (ICT) suites and sports and arts facilities to the wider community. We are also offering space, such as our school halls, and running further education, vocational classes and adult learning programmes.
Why offer community access?
Opening up school facilities is one way our schools can fulfil their obligation to promote community cohesion. Local businesses can benefit from affordable conference or ICT facilities, and the well-being of the community can be improved by making sports centres accessible to all.
Community access also helps us ensure that we are making full use of our facilities and generating additional income.
If you are a local business, group or club and would like to enquire about using the facilities at one of our schools, please CONTACT our Extended Schools Coordinator for more details.
