Our aim is to be at the heart of our community, providing a range of locally determined activities and services. We already work in partnership with Lisle Marsden Primary School, Lisle Marsden Childcare, Park Children’s Centre, North East Lincolnshire Council and many local providers and agencies
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.

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!
