Community access
Many schools are opening up facilities such as information and communications technology (ICT) suites and sports and arts facilities to the wider community. They are also offering space - such as their school halls - and running further education and vocational classes and adult learning programs.
Providing community access
Schools with suitable facilities, or the capacity to offer learning opportunities to the wider community, will need to assess existing provision and consult parents and carers, staff and the local community about their needs before deciding which facilities to make available for community use.
