Foundation Learning Support for schools, new modules

Two support modules for Foundation Learning have just been added within the suite of face-to-face support for 14-19 reform. This training is for you if your school is introducing Foundation Learning this September, or you are a curriculum leader responsible for growing team knowledge about Foundation Learning. It is in addition to the support provided to local authorities and the Foundation Learning healthchecks for schools.

New regional network meetings are available to book. Regional meetings are line specific and are the ideal place to discuss experiences and learn more about your line of learning.
