The Four Pillars

After School Programmes are conceptualised as being supported by four central pillars:

  1. Academic and e-Learning

  2. Sport and Recreation

  3. Arts and Culture

  4. Life skills.

Collaboration and partnership are needed to offer a diverse combination of  programmes under these pillars in order to address the needs of the whole child. There is a continuum between safety and belonging, self-esteem and confidence, academic performance, and being able to access technological and other opportunities.

Academic and eLearning
Sport and Recreation
Arts and Culture
Life Skills

 The Learning Trust has collaborated with the After School Programme Office (DCAS), ASSITEJ SA and Laureus Sport For Good Foundation to create this central ‘treasure box’ of resources from the 4 pillars of the After School programmes.
