Advanced practice from the North East

Study Support is almost of all of what is offered through the
Varied Menu of Activities of Extended Services and has had
the same DfEE/DfES/DCSF definition since 1996:

"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 becomemore effective learners. Above all it aims to raise achievement."
Study Support: a national framework for Extending Learning
Opportunities (DfES 2006).

Study support attendance by children and young people has contributed to raised achievement and as such is seen as a tool for school improvement.

QiSS is part of Canterbury Christ Church University. It supports the development of quality in study support provision, recognising good practice at three different levels: emerged, established and advanced. At advanced level you would expect to see a sophisticated strategy, with a detailed programme of delivery, showing significant impact on children and young people’s outcomes.

This booklet has been produced to celebrate the recognised advanced practice in the North East.
