In addition to these courses it is essential that our students have at least in C grade in English and Maths GCSE for their next steps. To ensure that this happens we offer both English and Maths at GCSE in our sixth form where students will follow either a 1 or 2 year programme in either English or Maths or both depending on their previous results.
Where we have learners who are new to the country or recently arrived or not in employment or education we offer a Foundation Learning programme that focuses on English, Maths, a work related qualification and personal and social development. This course lasts 1 year and is designed to prepare students for further study at college.
