This site has been designed and made to provide you with information and support.

It contains links to many external sites that you can use to help your students develop a range of skills, and also a great deal of material produced by us.

It also has links to sites that will provide information about new developments with the Skills for Life agenda and so on.

I intend it to be a repository for all the proformas and materials we need to do our jobs.  This is your site, so please let me know what you think and send me anything you would like to appear here.
