English GCSE

Our English GCSE resit is designed to help you achieve the grade 4 that universities and employers look for. It’s college policy that every student without a grade 4 continues studying English, so you’ll be in good company, building your reading, writing, speaking and listening skills alongside your main courses.

 

What are the entry requirements?
You'll need a grade 3 in GCSE English.
What will you learn?
You'll develop your ability to read, understand and analyse a wide range of texts from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, alongside writing clearly and accurately for different purposes and audiences.
How will you be assessed?
Through two exam papers: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing, and Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives. Your Spoken Language result carries over from school as a separate mark.
Do I have to take this course?
Yes, it's LSFC policy that every student without a grade 4 in English Language resits the GCSE, since it's required by nearly all universities and many employers.
