GCSE Retakes
At GCSE there are limited options for students to study for examination in English Language in November and Mathematics in January. These courses are only suitable for those students who have narrowly missed grade C at first attempt.
SA国际传媒 offer both one-year GCSE courses and short retake courses.聽Students resitting selected units on short courses will often stick to the same exam board as they have sat before, whereas those studying on one-year courses will typically transfer to SA国际传媒鈥檚 preferred exam board and take the full suite of units that are available.
"SA国际传媒 was a thrilling experience. Having to do a retake unexpectedly was a daunting experience but from the outset, the College made sure I was well prepared for my resits. Greater independence both within the classrooms and outside of the classrooms was a personal highlight for me - having the ability to leave after your classes rather than being confined at school has, I believe, prepared me well for the university-style lectures in my next step of education. I have seen SA国际传媒 as a great transition to prepare me for university."

"I chose SA国际传媒 on the strength of its exam results and when I came for my admissions meeting I felt like the system seemed robust and that SA国际传媒 could help me achieve what I wanted to. The teaching is exactly what I needed, particularly with regards to exam practice. I found the environment at SA国际传媒 very nuturing. They focus on supporting each individual to achieve what they want; at my previous school I was sometimes made to feel very small if I achieved a mediocre mark but I have never felt like that at SA国际传媒 and the atmosphere is very relaxed."

"This year has been a journey for me. When I started in August my confidence was shot and I didn鈥檛 know if I was going to go to the universities I鈥檇 always dreamed of so my time at SA国际传媒 has really been one of gaining confidence back and believing in myself but also having a new attitude in terms of the future. SA国际传媒 has really given me back the belief that I can achieve top grades and succeed. They give you the independence to direct your own time; although there is an extra-curricular programme, there is no pressure to take on a lot of extra activities and you focus on what is important to you, which in my case was studying."
