English & Mathematics Progression Programme
Why Study English and Mathematics?
Achieving strong qualifications in English and mathematics is essential for progression into further education, apprenticeships, university courses and employment.
As part of the Post-16 reforms for 2027-28, students who have not yet achieved a GCSE Grade 4 in English Language and/or Mathematics will continue to study these subjects alongside their main programme. This dedicated one-year programme provides students with the opportunity to secure these important qualifications and strengthen their future progression opportunities.
Many universities, employers and apprenticeship providers require evidence of competence in English and mathematics. Improving qualifications in these subjects can therefore have a significant impact on future choices and career options.
Maths
Why choose this subject?
Students will focus on developing:
- Number and calculation skills
- Algebra and problem solving
- Ratio, proportion and percentages
- Geometry and measures
- Statistics and data interpretation
- Mathematical reasoning
Teaching is tailored to students' starting points, helping them address gaps in knowledge and build confidence in applying their skills.
English
What will you study?
Students will focus on developing:
- Reading comprehension and interpretation
- Written communication
- Spelling, punctuation and grammar
- Analytical and evaluative skills
- Academic and professional writing
How is the course assessed?
Students will work towards GCSE English Language and/or GCSE Mathematics qualifications through a combination of:
- Structured lessons
- Regular assessments
- Exam practice
- Personalised intervention and support
Final assessment will be through nationally recognised GCSE examinations.
What next?
Successful completion of English and Mathematics GCSE qualifications supports progression into:
- Level 3 academic courses
- Vocational Level 3 qualifications
- Apprenticeships
- Higher Education pathways
- Employment and training opportunities
Achieving a Grade 4 or above in English and mathematics removes a significant barrier to future study and employment, providing students with a broader range of progression opportunities.
Entry Requirements
This one-year programme is designed for students who have not yet achieved a Grade 4 in GCSE English Language and/or Mathematics and therefore require further study before progressing fully to advanced qualifications.
Alongside English and mathematics, students will follow a tailored study programme that develops the knowledge, skills and habits required for successful progression to Level 3 study. Successful completion of the programme will enable students to access a wide range of Level 3 academic, technical and vocational pathways.
