Why English and maths
If you missed out on the grades you needed at school, why not study part-time for a GCSE in English or maths? It could be just what you need to break through into a better job. We know that English and maths can be challenging, but our lecturers will give you the support and confidence you need to get the grade you want. If you study with us full-time, English and maths might be part of your study programme if you didn’t achieve a grade 4 or above at school, ensuring you have every opportunity to get these essential qualifications.
If you achieved a grade 4 but would like to improve on this result, we can also offer our 16 to 18 students the chance to retake these subjects for free.
English and maths qualifications are the start of a journey that can lead to greater things. Join us and see how far you can go.
