What the college says

Did you not do as well as you expected to in your English Language GCSE? Students wanting to do an apprenticeship, work and/or go to university to study a degree at university require a minimum of a Grade 4 in GCSE English. Here at Holyhead we specialise in helping you through your resits. We offer a short 1 year intensive course for GCSE students wishing to improve their grades. Our expert teachers help you to identify the areas you need to improve on. The classes are geared to improving your understanding based on the assumption that you have already completed a full GCSE English course of study. Students who apply must be prepared to do all assignments, attend all lessons and put in the hard work required on this intensive course in addition to your KS5 studies.
