The pilot project took place in summer 2004 with classes from years 9 -13 in schools and colleges in Islington, Camden, Lambeth and Southwark. 110 pupils took part in the pilot programme.

These schools and colleges formed the pilot:

Archbishop Tenison’s School, Lambeth

Archbishop Michael Ramsey Technical College, Southwark

Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, Islington

Parliament Hill Girl’s School, Camden

Westminster Kingsway College, Camden

The initial phase of the project made use of existing research and drew on the expertise of teachers and FE tutors in the pilot schools and colleges to identify the skills needed for successful progression. See learning outcomes The materials comprise the teaching resources developed as a result of the pilot project. Each of the 7 units includes photocopiable masters of full teachers’ notes, activity sheets and fact sheets for pupil use. In addition each pack contains a set of reference cards for research into specific career areas and qualification types. We hope that you will find these resources useful in delivering progression skills to your pupils and students. We warmly welcome your feedback and evaluation based on your own experience of using these resources in the classroom, at progression days and HE widening participation workshops.
