Retake Courses
Overview
MPW offers retake courses for students who need to improve their A level or GCSE grades. Our retake students typically improve by one to two grades, and nearly two-thirds secure a place at a Russell Group university.
A Level Retake
Continue your A level studies to secure your first-choice university place:
- We will help you achieve the grades your first-choice place requires
- Outstanding Russell Group placement record for retake students
- Both full-year and short-course retake options available
- Full set of reformed and remaining legacy subjects offered
We know how devastated you may feel about having missed out on the grades required to make it to your first-choice university place, but think carefully before accepting second best. You'll spend a long time with your final A level grades and a long time looking back at a university career at an institution and course that you didn't really want. We know that your top-class university ambitions need not end here and remember that many major employers routinely sift on A level results as well as university class. Our experienced tutors will go the extra mile to ensure you get there.
GCSE Retake
MPW offers both one-year GCSE courses and short retake courses. Students resitting selected units on short courses will often stick to the same exam board as they have sat before, whereas those studying on one-year courses will typically transfer to MPW's preferred exam board and take the full suite of units that are available.
There are also options for students to study for GCSE examination in English Language in November and Mathematics in January. These courses are only suitable for those students who have narrowly missed grade C at first attempt.
Benefits
As a retake student at MPW, you will benefit from:
- Small class sizes
- Exam-focused programmes
- Expert UCAS advice
- Highly qualified tutors
- Supportive personal tutoring system
Testimonial
"MPW made a huge difference to me and helped me to improve by two grades in every subject within a year. This means I am going to my first choice university. I was worried about having to spend my gap year at a college retaking my A levels but MPW made it as enjoyable an experience as it could be and I came out with a lovely group of new friends and a new found confidence, I couldn't recommend it more!"
