Maths and English are an integral part of all of our programmes. We provide OCR GCSEs (9-1) in English Language and Mathematics. Depending on your previous attainment, we will place you on a programme that suits you. This could be Functional Skills or if you've previously achieved a 3 or D, GCSE. 

We have been shortlisted for the Outstanding GCSE Resits Provision at the 2020 TES FE Awards! 

We offer individual support to learners and we welcome applications from young people who may not have had a positive school experience. Our small class sizes and determination to provide you with individual support has contributed to our excellent progression levels. Over 75% of our learners move on to additional learning or employment when they complete their time with us.

We offer individual work placements as well as group community projects for learners to gain valuable employability skills and make a positive contribution to the community. 

Traineeships

As well as the study programme, you can also complete a traineeship for up to six months which includes:

  • a work placement offering developmental work experience
  • work training skills, for example CV writing, interview preparation and interpersonal skills
  • qualification in maths and English
  • a range of support and flexible training to help develop skills and progress quickly on to an apprenticeship or secure employment.
