MATHS Functional Skills / GCSE

Functional Skills Maths helps you build essential skills for both work and life. The course will boost your confidence and teach you how to apply your maths knowledge in real-world situations. It's available across five levels (Entry 1 to Level 2), so no matter where you're starting, we can find the right level for you to grow.

If you got a grade 3 in GCSE Maths at school, don’t worry! You’ll be placed in a GCSE Maths class to help you improve your grade to at least a grade 4. This is important because a grade 4 is often the minimum needed for many jobs and further education options. Upgrading your grade opens up lots of opportunities, so stay focused and give it your best shot. You’ve got this!

In these classes, you'll focus on strengthening your number skills, problem-solving, and real-life maths applications. You’ll work on areas that might have been tricky before, and your teacher will support you every step of the way.

By the end of the course, you’ll be more confident and ready to show what you can do!

You’ll study maths alongside your main vocational course until you reach a Level 2 pass / GCSE grade 4.

At City College Peterborough, maths classes are supportive and tailored to help you succeed. Choose a vocational course you love, and we’ll help you get there!
