Quality in Study Support and Extended Services (QISS) is a national organisation which is part of the Faculty of Education at Canterbury Christ Church University. Over the last decade QiSS has worked in partnership with the DfE and local authorities. QiSS has a national reputation for excellence in both the application of knowledge and creating practical solutions for education providers in the areas of Study Support, Extended Services, professional development and learning activities outside normal lesson time.
QiSS provides a number of tools for quality development including nationally recognised quality assurance marks for Study Support and Extended Service provision which enhances school improvement. QiSS has developed two nationally used quality assurance frameworks for Study Support and Extended Services and provides a range of continuous professional development opportunities. These tools are available to a range of education providers including Academies, Primary, Secondary, Independent, Free and Supplementary schools, sports and performing arts centres, libraries, museums and private education organisations.
Achievement of these quality marks demonstrates excellence in a variety of areas including raising attainment and achievement, engaging learners with a variety of needs and significantly improving behaviour and attendance.
When a school or a provider is validated through Children’s University they gain QiSS nationally accredited quality assurance award.
