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.
