GCSE Results & Previous Achievements

  • Do I need to bring evidence of all my exam results?

    Students must bring in evidence of all their achievements as these will be considered when discussing which level of qualification you will study.  Students aged 16-18, studying more than 150 hours, must also study maths and/or English, where they do not already hold GCSE or equivalent grade 9-4 or L2 Functional Skills. Therefore, your results slips will be scanned by College staff and attached to your enrolment form and will be verified against your Personal Learning Record (PLR).  Enrolments to Maths and/or English will then be added to your timetable where applicable..

  • 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.
