If you’ve applied to start a course with us this September, keep an eye on your emails. We’ll be inviting you to an enrolment session during the week commencing 24th August.
When you attend your enrolment session, you’ll receive your Induction Week timetable, so you’ll know what to expect when you start college. Induction Week begins Wednesday 2nd September.
During Induction Week, you’ll meet your tutors, get settled into college and receive your timetable for the rest of the academic year. We’re looking forward to welcoming all our new and returning learners and getting the new college year started!

I achieved a Grade 4 at GCSE, will I need to study maths/English?
If you achieved a GCSE Grade 4 (equivalent to C) or above in maths and English, you do not have to study additional classes during your time at Lakes College.
Maths and English GCSE at a C grade/grade 4 or equivalent is often a requirement for employment, apprenticeships and entry to University level education.
I achieved a Grade 3 or below at GCSE, will I need to study it?
If you have a GCSE grade D/grade 3 in mathematics, English or both then you will study and resit these subjects to progress to a GCSE grade C/grade 4 level.
Will I continue to build on my maths/English skills if I already achieved a Grade 4?
Although you will not be studying these subjects directly, you will build upon your maths and English skills throughout your chosen course.

I try to find out a lot of information about my students so that I can break that down and pinpoint any gaps in their learning. I just love teaching and I love teaching maths because I think it’s a beautiful subject.
