You will need to demonstrate a commitment to classroom-based academic study and be willing to undertake independent study outside of the classroom.

Applicants who have never taken GCSEs before will need to undertake assessments at interview where you must demonstrate a proficiency in English (reading, writing and spoken language) and maths at a suitable level to be able to access the demands of the GCSE programme of study in one year.

Suitability for the course will be assessed at interview through discussion and activities.

There are several different progression opportunities for students studying GCSEs. Many students progress to study A Levels, vocational areas, Access to Higher Education courses, apprenticeships, or employment in a variety of different areas.
