Learning Community Services

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.
