All learners can have the opportunity to resit their GCSE Mathematics, English or Science alongside their Level 3 courses (AS or BTEC). Great importance is placed upon achieving a grade of ‘C’ in GCSE Mathematics and GCSE English so we ensure that classes are available to all learners. Some learners need to achieve a grade of ‘B’ in these courses due to the university entry requirements so we allow learners to enrol for GCSE resit classes in these instances too.
