Hi,
Welcome to the Skills Builder Partnership!
Skills Builder Partnership began in 2009 with Tom Ravenscroft (founder and now Global CEO). Tom, who was then a Business Studies teacher in East London, felt a very real need to develop the essential skills of the young people in his classroom. Forward to 2026 and you are now part of a movement of over 1,000 primaries, secondaries, special settings and colleges threading skills across the learning journey. Together, we're working to ensure that one day, everyone will build the essential skills to succeed.
This guide is for Skills Leaders and Senior Leaders. It's full of advice and guidance on getting started and making the most of your programme with us. I'd recommend bookmarking this page so you can come back to it within the year too!
Best wishes,
Michael Englard, UK CEO
