Study Support

Study support describes activities organised by schools but held outside of school hours.

Activities are held before school, for example, breakfast clubs, at lunchtime or after school. Some schools run activities on Saturday mornings or in the school holidays.

There is a very wide range of activities and the clubs are run by teachers, learning support assistants, youth workers, sports coaches, midday supervisors and many other people who work in schools or with young people.

Study support activities have a relaxed atmosphere. They are voluntary for everyone involved and young people attend because they are interested. Pupils and staff decide what kinds of things will be attractive and enjoyable. Some study support activities are planned specifically to encourage those who don't usually get involved to give it a go.
