Answer
The Department has continued to fund the Full Service Extended Schools programme in place at the Belfast Boys Model and Belfast Model School for Girls in North Belfast and the Full Service Community Network in West Belfast. Both programmes received £385k in the 2014/15 financial year.
I am currently finalising my 2015-16 spending plans and the continuation of any Full Service funding beyond 31 March 2015 will be considered in the context of my overall spending plans for education which I hope to announce in the near future.
