=Welcome to the North Somerset Functional Skills wiki=

This wiki is being developed to provide a window on Functional Skills developments both nationally and within North Somerset. As the site grows we hope that teachers involved in the QCA Functional Skills pilot will offer contributions to support their colleagues and enter into debate via the online Discussion.

Support for the QCA functional skills pilot within North Somerset is being provided by the following Secondary Teaching and Learning Advisers:- English - John Mallone (john.mallone@n-somerset.gov.uk) Maths - Chris Pearce(chris.pearce@n-somerset.gov.uk) ICT - Tilly Sharman (tilly.sharman@n-somerset.gov.uk)
 * Adviser support for Functional Skills**

The advisers have identified Functional Skills as a priority within school Partnership Plans and will engage openly with subject leaders/teachers around this agenda. This engagement will be in the form of support meetings, subject network meetings, school reviews (as in ICT) i.e. Functional Skills is clearly on our radar.

Please feel free to contact them should you require further advice, guidance.
