Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of progression through STEM and mathematics. It describes how the mathematics team at Bradford College are using ‘mathematics workshop’ to provide students with easy access to a range of part-time mathematics programmes. These range from entry level to level three.

The workshop also provides a place where students can go at any time of the college day to seek help and support with their learning in mathematics. They encourage self-learning and provides a supportive environment for students to work, full in the knowledge that help is nearby.

The project's aim is to provide appropriate part-time courses for students and offer easy access to support in order to keep them engaged in learning mathematics.
