Post-16 maths and English

GCSE is taking on ever more importance, particularly in FE Colleges where learners on full time study programmes with an existing grade D GCSE are expected to keep re-sitting until they pass.  We have two reports about this, a link to Radio 4's Today programme and report from SGS College published in the Bristol Post.
Are your students spending hours doing "dry as ditchwater" GCSE assessments?  Don't, try the newly re-designed and re-launched GCSE assessment from ForSKills - details below.
Capita are running a Post-16 Maths and English conference in London on 8th July - we have links to this. 
This week's free videos are below - maths is all about Percentages and English is suffixes - both key parts of the GCSE curriculum too!
