ContinYou works with Sing Up to link projects to the extended schools agenda, ensuring that each initiative makes the most of staff support, resources and funding.

Singing and extended schools

Singing is a great way to develop the extended schools core offer, which requires all schools to provide access to affordable childcare, study support, specialised services, parental support and community use of school facilities by 2010.

Singing is a vibrant and positive start to the day, and works well through breakfast clubs. After-school singing clubs and choirs also help to boost pupil’s morale and improve learning across all subjects.

Singing is a valuable tool that can help children with speech and language difficulties, improve their communication skills.

In every area of the extended schools core offer, singing can engage and connect hard-to-reach families and enhance pupils’ achievements.
