18WRITTLE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE FURTHER EDUCATION PROSPECTUS 2018/19 IT’S ALL ABOUT ME! Maths and English (ME) isn’t just about words and numbers - a good understanding of both subjects will be valuable throughout your life. It means you are more likely to progress in education, find a job and grow in your future career. At WUC, you will continue to develop your skills in Maths and English throughout your studies, whatever your ability. You are not alone! Around four out of ten teenagers leave school without a GCSE at Grade C or Grade 4 in Maths and English. A fresh start at college studying something you enjoy, can really help. If you are 16 to 19 years old and don’t have a GCSE at Grade C or Grade 4 in Maths and English, you will study English and Maths qualifications through Functional Skills or GCSE alongside your course. If you are over the age of 19, you will be encouraged to do the same. If you already have a grade C, 4, or above in GCSE English and Maths, you will continue to develop your skills during your classroom sessions and assessments. Don’t worry! We will support you along the way and help you to be the best you can be. 20 21
