Study
support
Support is available for schools
to set up and develop additional opportunities for learning and
personal development outside of normal school hours.
Our aim is to help raise achievement, improve young
people's motivation, build their self-esteem and help them to
become more effective learners.
Learning Community Services uses Quality in Study Support (QiSS)
and Quality in Extended Schools (QES) kite marks as quality
frameworks for schools, centres, projects and libraries they work
with. These are national frameworks, as recommended by the
DfES:
Playing for Success
We operate two Playing for Success (PfS) Study
Support Centre at the East London Gymnastics Club and the West Ham
United Football Club respectively and will be opening a third in
the Aquatic Centre as part of the 2012 Olympic facilities and a
study centre in the Stratford Shopping Centre in Autumn 2007 for
older students.
For further details on the PfS intiative, please visit our PfS page
on the Newham website.
The Jack Petchey Foundation
The Jack Petchey Foundation is donating every
secondary student in Newham £10 towards study support provision.
The funding is managed by Learning Community Services and is given
out to schools to run quality study support provision to help raise
standards in attainment and develop a positive attitude towards
learning and school.
