Studying English alongside Maths
You can also choose to study on one of our English courses whilst on a Maths course. However, we do not recommend completing both GCSE courses in one year, as it is a very big time commitment to attend class and complete homework and preparation over a year. Enrolment onto two simultaneous GCSE courses will therefore be at the discretion of the course adviser and dependent on individual circumstances. Being realistic about your time and capacity in advance will avoid potential issues like dropping one course before the end or getting a lower grade.
Helps you to improve your practical maths skills. You will be able to apply the skills learnt in everyday life, both at home and in the workplace.
Core Maths develops the mathematical skills students gained at GCSE. It focuses on using and applying maths to solve problems drawn from other subjects, work, and real life. It support the mathematical needs of a range of AS, A level and Level 3 qualifications, and to provide a progression from GCSE Mathematics.
