4. Skillz NOW - English and Maths work (KS4)
Skillz NOW provides English and Maths sessions for young people who are preparing to take their GCSEs. These sessions are delivered by appropriately qualified teachers and use innovative teaching methods to engage the learners. Many schools have asked us to provide this work to those young people who are more than capable of sitting their GCSE exams but have attended limited sessions at school.
