What will I study?

A range of fiction and non-fiction texts that require well written analytical responses to show a confident technical understanding of how writers use words and sentences to create their meanings. Students will also develop their own skills and ideas in writing and speaking.

Is this course right for me?

This is explicitly for students who didn't get the grade they wanted at GCSE and need to retake to get a 4 or above.

Where next?

This enables students to take or complete a range of level 3 courses that require grade C/4 English GCSE.
