I achieved a grade 3/D in GCSE English and Maths. Do I have to retake?

Yes. If you have a grade 3 or below, or a D or below, then you will need a grade 4 (C grade) to pass and progress on to further levels of study, or employment. We offer functional skills study alternatives for those who do not wish to retake their Maths GCSE, but would like to have more confidence when it comes to their numeracy skills.

For some students, we offer the opportunity for you to retake your GCSEs in Maths and/or English while studying a full-time vocational course. Contact your local Nacro Education Centre for more information.
