An allocation of funding to the Cardinal Hume Cluster Group was used to enhance the varied menu of activities and community access element of the core offer already available within the cluster.
As schools within the Cardinal Hume Cluster are widely spread out amongst the south and east of the borough, a major issue for both schools and their communities was linking with other schools in the cluster. To address this issue the cluster have agreed to purchase a shared mini-bus for use by all of the schools within the cluster. This will enable pupils, their families and the wider community to access a range services and activities available throughout the whole cluster.
