Nursery World - Trojans' plan to expand in schools

The Trojans Scheme has announced plans for huge expansion during the next seven years on the back of the Government's extended schools programme. The charity runs 16 subsidised after-school clubs in south London as well as breakfast clubs and holiday play schemes, but plans to have more than 300 after-school clubs throughout the country by 2012.

Trojans was founded ten years ago by chief executive Jackie Nunns. She says, 'Our plans might sound very ambitious for what is currently a small charity but we have spent two years in preparation for this and are very confident that our robust framework for out-of-school services is what schools are looking for. As the extended schools agenda is now on the table, headteachers are under pressure to provide wraparound activities for children from 8am to 6pm.
