Blane Dodds, chief executive of North Lanarkshire Leisure, said: "Exam times can be stressful for pupils and this is a very positive scheme that will hopefully help them prepare and achieve to the best of their abilities during the exam period.

"This initiative is about supporting our young people at one of the most challenging periods of their lives."

Study leave membership is available at a number of North Lanarkshire leisure centres including Airdrie Leisure Centre, Broadwood NL, Iain Nicolson Centre in Chryston, Kilsyth Pool, the Tryst Sports Centre, in Cumbernauld and the Time Capsule, in Coatbridge.
