Support for GCSE Resit English and maths

We ensure that our students who have yet to achieve a grade 4 in GCSE English and/or maths have appropriate teaching to enable them to succeed this year. We meet the teaching hours requirements with maths and English specialist teachers.

Students on a level 2 programme have 2 hours per fortnight of supported study which includes support to study towards their GCSE resit exams. These students sit mock exams in the same way as year 11 and are held to the same high standards of engagement and effort as in their other Sixth Form subjects.
