In addition to Level 3 courses, students will also have the opportunity to retake GCSEs in English and Mathematics should they wish to improve their grades. We have also expanded our provision to include the Bedford Thunder Basketball Academy which enables students with a passion for basketball to excel through training and game play whilst working towards their chosen Level 3 qualifications. SUPPORT AND EXTENSION Students’ individual needs are well supported and benefit from a range of interventions, including additional curriculum time for Literacy and Numeracy lessons. Many students successfully complete qualifications in home languages other than English and are encouraged to do so when they are ready.We also encourage students to complete other qualifications early where appropriate, so that they can continue to challenge themselves with higher levels of study.
