Supplementary Schools enhance the learning experiences of young people through the provision of out of school hours classes and clubs. They offer a range of learning opportunities:

• national curriculum subjects
• religious studies
• mother-tongue classes
• cultural studies
• extracurricular activities such as sport, music, dance and drama
• parental involvement opportunities

They run throughout the week in the evenings or at weekends and are set up by local community groups. The schools operate from a variety of venues including community centres, places of worship and mainstream schools.
