Welcome to the Surrey Confederations’ website - we hope that it will give you a further insight into the work of Confederations within Surrey.  The site is still under construction - if you have any comments about the site or any information that you think would be useful to add, please contact the adminstrator

Over the past few years Confederations have established themselves as leading the way in effective partnership working across Surrey. Their core work is to work collaboratively to help make a difference to the needs of children and families within their community of schools helping to deliver the Every Child Matters agenda through Extended Services. 

All areas of Surrey are represented by Confederations and are presently being aligned with the Surrey Alliance.

Surrey’s vision is to support its Confederations of Schools to develop local Extended Services involving a cross-phase network of schools, children’s centres, education and health services and other statutory and voluntary agencies all taking responsibility for a sustainable shared agenda which meets the needs of all children and families in the locality.

Specifically, Confederations are concerned with:

• School improvement – raising attainment and value added and improving behaviour and attendance for all pupils within the Confederation community

• Delivering the core offer for Extended Services in and around schools

• Establishing their own networks, systems and structures, enabling them to commission and deliver services which are universal, targeted and ‘outcome focused’

• Supporting the delivery of the 5 outcomes of Every Child Matters (ECM) and focusing on the priorities in the Surrey Children’s and Young People’s Plan in collaboration with County Services and partners

• Making better use of facilities and resources within the community

• Playing their part in the development of a safer and more cohesive community that supports the wellbeing of all

The Surrey Confederations website provides links to all the individual Surrey Confederations as well as providing information about Extended Services and how these are operating with local partners within Surrey.    We hope that you find the website informative and helpful and if you have any comments or would like anything added to this website, please visit the 'Contact Us' page.

With best wishes
