All Sixth Form students must re-sit GCSE English Language and Maths if they have not achieved a Grade 4 in each of these subjects. As part of their Sixth Form offer they will be expected to attend all GCSE re-sit classes and revision sessions.  

These lessons may take place during twilight sessions, so students will need to be available at the end of the school day.

English Language GCSE

Contact: Mrs H La Fevre

Subject Code - Er

This course is designed for all students who need to retake English GCSE to obtain a Grade 4.

It is a demanding course, which really needs motivation and reasonably mature, independent study habits.

Students learn and practice the skills needed to get a good GCSE grade rigorously; it is also an enjoyable, stimulating year full of heated debate, mind mapping and generous support/idea-sharing.

There are opportunities to sit the GCSE paper in November and/or June.

Mathematics GCSE

Contact - Mr J Woods

Subject Code - Mr

This course is designed for students who have not yet obtained a Grade 4 in Mathematics GCSE. The teaching focuses on this goal and does not attempt to prepare for higher tier entry.

The course runs until the GCSE exams in May. However, some students who only narrowly missed a Grade 4 previously may opt to sit a re-take paper in November; results are received in January. As a consequence all students follow the course until at least January results day.
