Maths and English - GCSE English Language

A resit programme developed to give you more confidence in your own abilities, boost your CV to show employers what you can do and give you a basis to move onto other qualifications.

This course will take place on Thursday evenings, 6pm-9pm.

Should attendance fall below 95%, an alternative course may be more suitable and your tutor will discuss options with you.

The course consists of a variety of texts and series of work packs to help with developing revision skills to prepare you for the summer exams. In preparation for these exams you will familiarise yourself with various different genres of writing that you will be expected to analyse. You will also need to be cognisant with subject terminology and writing techniques as tools to use in that analysis, as well as able to produce a variety of texts in the personal writing elements of the papers.

If it has been a while since you took your GCSEs (or O Levels) you may find you will have to do quite a bit of reading outside of class time.

Two written exam papers that will be taken in the summer (June) at Selby College.

You must have a good grounding in basic English, or an ESOL Level 2 qualification.

All attendees are required to provide photographic identification.

Learners may use the qualification to help progress onto further education opportunities such as higher education.

Improve your employment prospects.
