English GCSE

GCSE English combines English language and literature

Sessions:

We will meet weekly for a two hour session during term time starting the week beginning 20 September. Check the time and place for your group. We will also arrange some extra workshop sessions out of term time. It is important that you attend all the sessions.

Homework:

In addition to the timetabled sessions you will need to set aside four hours per week for preparation and completion of coursework. This is work set by the exam board and will include completing written assignments discussed in class and reading of all kinds.

Please ensure that you have sufficient free time before you apply to join the course.

Cost:

The total sum of £199 is payable on enrolment and is non-refundable. A concessionary rate of £69 is available to those on income based benefits.    Because this is a heavily subsidised course, you must be aware that you will be expected to take two exams in June 2010 and to submit all the required coursework, meeting the deadlines. It will not be possible to re-enrol on the course.  Extra support will be offered where a need is identified.

Equipment/Materials:

You will need an A4 folder and lined paper. You may wish to buy your own copies of the books we study for coursework, but all course materials and worksheets are provided.

Assessment:

Contact the Open Learning Centre on 020 8547 6436. You will need to complete an assessment at the Centre to ensure that you are at an appropriate level to enrol on the course.
