Level 1 and Entry : Wyke Foundation Studies (OCR)
Who is the course for?
Wyke Foundation Studies is a great programme of study aimed at students who found their time at school difficult and for many reasons have achieved grades E, F, G or below at GCSE. The course is also designed to help students that may need extra time and help and support to achieve their full potential. Students will receive a lot of encouragement and support in every lesson via teachers and LSA’s. Students are allowed to work at individual academic levels that are appropriate to them as individuals. Students that like to work with only a few members of staff in a familiar classroom would benefit greatly.
