Study Support
Extended Learning Opportunities - ELO (formerly known as Study Support)
Study support (out of school hours learning) covers a wide range of learning activities outside normal lesson time in which young people participate voluntarily. This includes activities such as homework and study clubs, sport and outdoor activities, the creative arts, community volunteering, mentoring, opportunities to pursue particular interests (e.g. ICT and languages) and learning about learning (i.e. study and thinking skills).
Study support includes the Playing for Success initiative, which has established study support centres at top football clubs and other sports grounds.
