English and Maths
Still need a grade 4 in English or Maths? Here's what that means for you.
If you're 16-19 and didn't get a grade 4 (or above) in GCSE English or Maths, you'll keep studying them at college.
It's not optional - it's part of your course
Why?
It's a rule called the Condition of Funding (basically, we must make sure you're doing the right course so we can get funding to support you).
Already got a grade 4 or higher?
- You're good - no extra English or Maths needed
What if I got a grade 3 (a "D")?
- You'll resit your GCSE in English and/or Maths until you get at least a grade 4-even if you've already done Functional Skills.
Got below grade 3 (E, F, G or U)?
- You won't go straight back to GCSE.
- You'll study Functional Skills or another approved stepping-stone qualification.
