Wales GCSE Resits Senior Programme Coordinator

In Wales, fewer than one in three students leave school each year without a standard pass (grade C or above) in GCSE English and maths. This rises to over one in two for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The scale of the challenge at 16 extends into adulthood. The most recent survey of adult literacy and numeracy skills, which took place in 2010, found that a third of adults do not have literacy skills at level 2 (GCSE) or above and over three quarters do not have numeracy skills at or above this level. Lacking gateway qualifications locks people out of many opportunities for education and employment and is associated with adverse outcomes for learning potential, health and well-being. Get Further exists to change this. Since 2028 our charity has delivered a series of interventions in England that help disadvantaged learners in Further Education to secure gateway English and maths qualifications that unlock opportunities. These interventions include our award-winning GCSE Resit Tuition Programme for those resitting GCSEs, our Functional Skills Tuition Programme, supporting those on or aspiring to undertake apprenticeship programmes, and our resources and training for post-16 English and maths teachers. We are now excited to be expanding our provision into Wales with post-16 GCSE English and maths tuition support. You can read about the impact of our interventions here.
