What the college says

If you have not obtained a Grade 4 in GCSE English, then you will need to follow a GCSE re sit or Literacy course as part of your Post 16 studies. English is considered essential by universities, most employers and apprenticeship providers. New legislation requires post 16 students to keep taking GCSE English and maths until you get a grade 4. If you do not have the grade, you will find a lot of course and career opportunities closed to you.

What you need to get on

You should, ideally, have a 3 at GCSE and be willing to work hard.

How you are assessed

Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
