Good English and Maths skills are essential for success in
studying and for future employment prospects and so Croydon College ensures that
these skills are developed in all learning opportunities.
It’s also important to have good English and Maths
qualifications and so all students will study English and Maths and work towards
an appropriate level and type of qualification including GCSE. This will be part
of all 16-18 year old students’ Study Programme alongside their main vocational
or academic qualification and will be discussed with students at
interview.
