Entry requirements

Grade 5 in GCSE English Language.

How you'll be assessed

Alongside sixth-form exams, there will also be a series of smaller scale assessments throughout the course. This is because this qualification is linear and students will sit all 3 exams at the end of the 2 year course. It is therefore essential that the students are consistently re-visiting and consolidating their knowledge of topics throughout the two-year course. They will be given the necessary support and guidance to do this.
