The 16 to 19 study programmes for all young people of this age group, apart from apprentices, require that all students without a GCSE at grade C or above in English and/or maths should continue to study these subjects. This has been a condition of funding for each of these students since September 2014. 

Improving English teaching and learning by addressing these challenges is a priority area for the Education and Training Foundation. We want to stimulate the development and sharing of effective teaching resources as well as providing access to the best of legacy material available in the Excellence Gateway and other sources.

To further support your professional development needs, the Foundation has Regional Specialist Leads for English and a range of professional development courses.  Watch our short film ‘Helping you to deliver Excellent maths and English’.

This exhibition site brings together some of the most effective materials available on the Excellence Gateway to support English teaching, as well as brand new material that will be of interest to practitioners, managers and leaders across the sector.
