GCSE Results & Previous Achievements

  • Which GCSE’s should be recorded on my online enrolment form?

    For full time 16-18 year old students, only Maths and English grades should be recorded on the online enrolment form. However, students must still bring in evidence of all their achievements to enrol as these will need to be considered when discussing which level of qualification you will study.

  • Why do you need my Maths & English results?

    Students aged 16-18, studying more than 150 hours, have to study for maths and/or English where they do not already hold GCSE or equivalent grade 9-4 or L2 Functional Skills. In addition to this, students will also attend a minimum of one hour a week additional maths/English support.

  • Will someone check my Maths and English results?

    The results declared on the online enrolment form will be verified against your Personal Learning Record and enrolments to Maths and/or English GCSE added or cancelled as appropriate.

  • Are results slips sufficient evidence of GCSE achievements?

    Yes - results slips are acceptable but you will not be able to enrol without them.

  • What if I forget my results or certificates?

    Full time students have all been advised to bring their certificates in when they enrol. If you do not bring in your certificates/results slip and they are needed for the entry requirements, you will be advised at the ‘meet and greet’ that you will need to go home and get them.
