Resources may or may not have answer sheets. This depends on whether the contributor provided answers and/or whether I (Maggie Harnew) have time to produce them.
In 2017 I introduced restricted answer sheets, particularly when it takes a lot of time and effort to produce the answers (many sheets also include detailed Reformed Functional Skills mapping). All site contributors are entitled to request restricted answer sheets. It's my way of saying 'thank you' and also encouraging new people to share resources.
If you are a contributor simply send me an email or use the site contact link stipulating which answer sheets you want. I will send you a link within 24 hours (unless I'm on holiday!). Scroll down to view a list of all sheets.
Skillsworkshop is now 24 years old: teaching methods have gradually changed since 2000 - and dramatically since Covid 19! Remote teaching is now widespread and here to stay. Many older resources have the answers appended to the main PDF rather than in a separate document. I'm slowly separating the answer pages so teachers can send learners resources without answers attached! If you would like me to split a particular PDF file for you, please ask.
