GCSE

Course Overview

Students who have not yet taken their GCSE and those who did not gain at least a grade 4 at high school will be enrolled.

In addition, students who already have a grade 4 but need a higher grade for their chosen progression route can take this course on the Higher Tier in order to achieve a higher grade.

Students will have four- and three-quarter hours of lessons with a dedicated subject specialist each week in a mature, supportive classroom environment. Those with a grade 3 already will enroll on a one-year course, with an opportunity to take a re-sit exam in the November. Students without a grade 3 will enroll on a 2-year course, with a level 1 award taken in the first year of studies.

The course is taught by a team of specialist maths teachers, with a wealth of experience in giving students a fresh start in their maths and creating a calm, encouraging setting. They will help you identify key areas to work on and provide support and resources to help you reach your potential.

Where Courses Become Careers

Having Mathematics at GCSE at grade 4 is a requirement for many courses, most University degrees and for employment. If you want to study science and business related courses it is essential.

How SFC will help you to boost your CV by developing your skills and qualifications…
