Summary - This case study shows a family of schools working together to provide a wide programme of after school activities. 

Case study

The Temple Newsam/Halton Family of Schools successfully bid for New Opportunities Fund funding and developed a regular programme of after school activity in partnership with the local YMCA. A carousel of after school activities was developed ranging from gymnastics and sport to pottery and steel pan bands. Although NOF funding came to an end in 2003 the family has worked in partnership with Education Leeds to extend and develop study support and secure funding for additional work. The family is committed to collaborative working and grants from the local Community Involvement Team and SRB5 supported an inter-school sports festival in the 2004 summer term. The family is seeking further funding to support collaborative, creative and performing arts projects.
