Ideally, this will include English, although students who don’t gain at least a 4 in English (language or literature) will be looked on a case by case basis. This also includes any level 2 BTEC or equivalent diplomas (Eduqas or WJEC) at a Pass or above - this would be the equivalent of one GCSE. If students do not gain their grade 4 in maths there is the opportunity to resit.
