ARC sessions are where SALIS students can get support in a wide range of areas vital to their success.

A is for Academic

The sessions provide support for students individually or in small groups, with guidance in subjects across the curriculum.

Students build confidence and generate new ideas, improving their success in the classroom.  

R is for Remedial

Students are helped to identify how they can improve their learning habits.

Students gain and strengthen essential transferable skills like self-organisation, essay planning, effective revision, and time management.

Equipped with these tools, students are able to flourish.

C is for Coaching

Students benefit from tailored advice built around their individual needs and requirements.

This approach is not prescriptive, but rather helps students to develop the skills necessary to become more independent and responsible for their own learning success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is ARC for?

ARC is for every SALIS student! Whether you want guidance with a tricky maths problem, an extra challenge in chemistry, or a chance to chat about your revision techniques, pupils of all years and all abilities are welcome!

It may be that students are recommended by a teacher to attend an ARC session or two per week. Students attending ARC under their own steam can attend as many sessions as they wish.
