Getting it right

Something I've noticed very clearly over the last few months (since about Easter I guess) is that confidence in what functional skills is, is increasing.

A year ago, 6 months ago even, we'd start every conversation by saying - "do you know what functional skills are?" then spend a few minutes explaining them before we ever talked about Guroo.

But that's changes, and it's a bit like a switch, the change has happened remarkably quickly and the balance is now in favour of knowledge about FS. Now we're being asked how we help!

Add to that the fact that Nov and Jan exam results were very much more respectable and indeed were higher than the equivalent GCSE then it's all starting to come together.
