Government policy dictates that all students enrolling on a Study Programme of 150 hours or more who do not hold a GCSE grade A*-C / 4 - 9 or equivalent qualification in English and/or maths are required to continue to study those subjects. It is a further condition that full-time students enrolling on a Study Programme with prior attainment of a grade D / 3 GCSE or an equivalent qualification in English and/or maths must been rolled on a GCSE rather than a stepping stone qualification. 

Derby College is one of the largest colleges in the country, with the significant majority of its provision for 16-19 year olds. Of these, on average each year approximately 65% join the College without English and/or maths and our GCSE resit programme supports around 1,000 students in each subject.
