Functional Skills/ GCSEs in English & Maths:

Functional Skills in English and Maths are taught in Post16 and reflect what the students would normally be learning alongside their vocational courses in college. Functional Skills may be more accessible, useful and relevant to pupils for whom progression onto GCSE English and Maths is not appropriate. The Functional Skills qualifications are highly regarded amongst employers, as they suggest a level of skill which is transferable to the workplace.

This year Post16 are also teaching re-sits in Maths and English GCSEs in line with the new regulations in place at colleges.
