Study Support is a learning activity outside normal lessons which pupils at Madras can take part in voluntarily. Its purpose is to improve pupil's motivation, build their self-esteem and help them to become more responsible and effective learners. Above all it aims to raise achievement.
The clubs generally run during intervals, lunchtimes or after school and aim to provide pupils with the following opportunities:
