Study Support

Study Support activities improve motivation, build self-esteem and help children and young people to become more effective learners. They have a positive impact on attainment, attitudes to learning and school attendance.

Study Support is learning activity that takes place outside normal school hours which children and young people take part in voluntarily. It includes various activities that can happen before school, at lunchtime, after school or even at weekends and in the holidays. Study Support activities improve motivation, build self-esteem and help children and young people to become more effective learners. They have a positive impact on attainment, attitudes to learning and school attendance.
