Part of Salford City College Group

Outline

You will study numeracy skills such as conversion of measures, statistics, fractions and percentages and area and volume. These will be presented in real world contexts.

Progression

You can progress to the next functional skills level up to level 2. Once level 2 has been achieved you can study GCSE Maths or progress to HE courses where level 2 Numeracy is required (rather than specifying GCSE).

Assessment

A single paper divided into calculator and non-calculator sections. This does not take place at settimes but is carried out within a time frame when your teacher believes you are ready. For those starting in September the exams will be in January and early February. For courses starting in February they will take place in May and June. Students may have multiple attempts at exams.

Entry Requirements

There is no entry requirement to enrol in the class, but the level to be studied will be based on previous levels achieved and initial diagnostic assessment.
