The government’s wraparound care offer for families
The government has an aspiration that all primary school aged children (4 – 11 years) in England, will be able to access wraparound care from 8 am to 6 pm.
What would this wraparound care look like?
- It would be during term time.
- It would be provision such as breakfast clubs and regular after school provision.
What is the purpose of this?
- This should be available every school day and is intended to help parents to work the hours that they want to.
How can our school facilitate this?
- There will be some funding available to apply for, to support schools with the implementation.
- The offer must be self-financing by Autumn 2026.
- Schools may want, or need, to signpost families to other providers if they cannot meet the needs of all families.
What other support is available to us?
- North Tyneside will be working with schools to develop the borough’s wraparound care offer between 2024 and Autumn 2026.
