Study Support
‘Study support is learning activity outside normal lessons which young people take part in voluntarily. Study support is, accordingly, an inclusive term, embracing many activities - with many names and guises.
Its purpose is to improve young people’s motivation, build their self esteem and help them become more effective learners. Above all it aims to raise achievement’.
