Welcome to The Learning Matters Partnership website, now a part of Stuart McCoy and Co Ltd.
We are a small consultancy company that works to support colleagues in the management and delivery of Skills for Life, provision for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, and preparation for life and work.
We specialise in support for curriculum and staff development in the areas of literacy, numeracy, ESOL, independent living skills, and entry to employment.
We have developed a pack of resources for teachers and teacher/trainers with DVDs that have film of teaching and learning. Click here to go to the DVD resources.
The materials were designed and produced by Stuart McCoy and Carol Tennyson who are former national lead inspectors in these areas or learning.
Stuart McCoy (MEd, BSc, Dip Ed) has worked since 2000 nationally as an independent education consultant in management, quality assurance and curriculum development across the further education sector.
