Share good practice, find an answer to a question

The Learning Exchange offers an online space for anyone working in the extended schools strategy.

• Network with colleagues across the UK (and beyond) to discuss issues and exchange ideas, good practice, insights, observations or news.
• Explore links to a huge number of helpful and relevant articles, guidance documents and other resources.
• Add your own case studies and share useful documents, templates or favourite websites with other members.
• Listen to and view inspiring and interesting podcasts and videos that we regularly collect for you in the library.
• Take part in forum discussions.
• Write blogs about your work - its challenges, rewards and how extended services are supporting children, young people and families in your area.
• Receive a weekly e-newsletter.

An important note: Some local authorities restrict staff use of social networking sites.  If you work for a local authority, please do check with your IT department to ensure that you are able to have access to the Learning Exchange as it will require log in details. If you need a letter verifying that the Learning Exchange is a bona fide extended services website supported by the Department for Education, please email Paddy O'Dea.
