GCSE English is a key qualification that acts as a gateway to furthering your education and career. You'll cover literature to help develop reading skills, analyse texts and improve writing skills.

You will then be able to write effectively and coherently using standard English appropriately.
You will be assessed on your coursework and in a final exam. You will submit four Controlled Assessments throughout the year, which are aggregated with the result of your exam to produce your final grade. The total assessments are split 40% coursework and 60% written exams.
Once you have completed this course and pass the exam, you will achieve a GCSE in English Language.
Achieving a grade 4 or above in English can help you achieve your personal or career goals, including further study at Level 3 or university and gain employment or promotion. Along with maths, a good grade in English is an absolute requirement for any university course or career.
There may be additional costs for materials, or to resit an exam.
