Content

  • ***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STANDALONE BLOCK AND NOT A CONTINUING COURSE*** Functional Skills English is a route taken by some students if, for whatever reason, they do not wish to pursue a GCSE or IGCSE course. Some further education providers will accept a Level 2 pass in Functional Skills in place of a Grade 4 GCSE or IGCSE.

  • In this course, I will be explaining the format of Level 1 and 2 Functional Skills qualifications in English, including reading, writing and speaking and listening. It will be based on the Pearson Edexcel specification. Please note that as we are not an exam centre, students who wish to take this course will need to find a provider who will assess the speaking element of the course, but advice will be provided regarding the planning and preparation for this part of the qualification. We will work through past papers for reading and writing so that students understand the requirements of the examinations.

Sharon, Parent

“This group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“We have been taking part in the BSL lessons and the other day had great fun finger spelling while shopping. Two of my children have dyslexia with T being more severe, he hates and refuses spellings. Along comes BSL and he’s loving spellings!” ”

Holly, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”

Donna, Parent

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”
