New 14-19 progression routes diagram. With thanks to Guroo's friend Gill Coker for sending us the link, a really good diagram on progression routes.

The official line. The December edition of the DCSF 14-19 newsletter has been published.

It's amazing what you find on YouTube! Guroo's good friend John Pallister told us about a couple of videos on YouTube. "Informative" is perhaps the kindest way of describing them. Links below.
