Study Support ETC!

Whether you're from a school, local authority or a partner organisation Study Support ETC is the resource for you! It’s full of: 

  • great ideas
  • practical information about getting involved in, developing, running or sustaining study support activities and programmes
  • and case studies/examples of how others are already doing it.

This section of the site has been developed as a result of funding from the DfES (now DCSF). It contains an extensive range of tools to help you plan and develop study support as an integral part of your whole school improvement plan. 

These resources will continue to be updated so please revisit them frequently.
