Course content
This is a one year course with the possibility of continuing to a Level 3 programme thereafter. This is not simply a year in which to re-sit GCSE subjects already studied. For many subjects there is no opportunity to re-sit.
It is a demanding one year programme aimed at building up Key Skills, obtaining an improved GCSE profile, career planning and personal development. It is intended for students who have academic potential and a positive approach to study, but who have under-performed, perhaps because of ill health or other difficult personal circumstances.
The course is aimed at students who have achieved at least 1 or 2 Cs or better grades at GCSE. Other students many have as many as 4 GCSE grade B/C passes, but still need to gain passes in key subjects before progressing to a full AS Level programme.
Students should also have at least 4 D or better passes. Students will usually be expected to have achieved a D grade in either English Language or Maths.
Students who have not achieved D in either subject will need to consider very carefully whether to AFP is the right choice. Studying BTEC First Diploma or foundation level courses may offer better progression opportunities.
What Will I Study?
The programme consists of a number of GCSEs:
GCSE English.
GCSE Maths.
GCSE Science (single award).
GCSE Photography.
GCSE Media Studies.
GCSE Business Studies.
In addition to their study AFP students will be required to complete an ICT Key Skills course if needed; and where appropriate will be required to attend support classes in key subjects. Students are placed in the AFP specialist Tutor Group as they follow a slightly different pastoral programme.
