English & maths - Part of Life鈥檚 Essentials

We all need to use English and maths more of the time, for that precious next job, that next step towards university, to help children with homework or to challenge that big electricity bill. At 青青草视频, we can help and support you to gain qualifications in English and maths, whether you are a young person aged 16 to 18 or an adult, and whatever stage you are working at.听

English

Developing your English skills can improve your reading, writing and verbal communication skills. This can help you write a letter or, job applications and build your confidence in speaking to new people.听听

Maths

When you develop your skills it will help you to apply practical maths when you are out shopping and budgeting for household bills. You may already have maths skills, but you don鈥檛 have a qualification to prove it which limits your potential when searching for jobs or trying for a promotion.

Did you know?

The new grading system for GCSEs has now come into effect. It allows for better differentiation between students of different abilities. The old A*-G grading system is going through the process of being replaced with a numeric 9 to 1 grading scale, with 9 being the top grade.听听

Under the new system, a grade 4 and above is the equivalent to a C and above, with grade 5 counting as a high 鈥楥鈥� and grade 4 as a low 鈥楥鈥�. Only grade 5 and above counts as a 鈥榞ood pass鈥�, but the government has stressed that where employers, further education providers and universities previously accepted a grade C, they would expect them to continue recognising a grade 4. 听听

Grade 9 are awarded for exceptional performance. Fewer grade 9s are awarded than A*s.

High achieving students are awarded a grade 8 or 7.听听

Hear what our students have to say

- The tutors here explain everything really well and they are very helpful. Long term, I'd like to become a Sports Physiotherapist or even do something with maths, so I'm going to go to university after this.
  
  Muhammed Akmul, English & Maths GCSE - studied at Essa Academy
- English and maths is so important; it's helped me with my coding, writing essays and just general course study. The English and maths tutors have been so supportive - where they can, they'll relate examples in class to the subject I'm studying which really helps and makes it easier to understand.
