English and maths at College & TTE
Your role: It is very important that you help us reaffirm the importance of attending English and maths classes throughout the academic year.
English and maths at GCSE 4 (C) or above are essential qualifications for progression within further education and to Higher Education and employment. All students will continue to study English and maths if they do not hold a GCSE 4 (C) or above, dependent on your child’s school grades, this will either be a GCSE re-examination, or Functional Skills.
Employers frequently stress the importance of GCSEs/Functional Skills, they are recognised as being vital to the world of work and the College and TTE incorporates these subjects into your child’s studies.
Don’t worry if your child didn’t enjoy these subjects at school, College and TTE are different and we often find that applying maths and English to subjects that they enjoy and are good at can make a real difference!
Students also need to have at least a grade 4 (C) GCSE in maths and English to progress onto many University courses.
