Notice Information

Notice Title

To support the teaching of Functional Skills in maths and English

Notice Description

As part of the Functional Skills Reform Programme, the Foundation commissioned a set of new materials to support the current revised draft subject content. This subject content will form part of a further consultation in the autumn 2017 and we expect it to be finalised in early January 2018. In the meantime, these new materials have potential to support delivery of the current Functional Skills at all levels. We are looking for a delivery partner to develop training to use these materials to improve practice and roll this training out across the sector, adapting to different contexts for learning. This training should complement the current maths and English Pipeline, and link to the Foundation's online modules to support personal skills.
