Thanks Steve!
So if aim is loaded for 2 years - If the student fails in Summer25, do we close aim as no achievement and reload again for the last year ?
or
do not update the aim with the fail and let it run for the duration as the student will continue until Summer26 and then update the final result?
Thanks Ems
We just wouldn't update the aim, and would leave as Continuing. We do that for November resits. We never plan to deliver English and maths over two years, so we don't have the exact scenario you describe. If a student doesn't pass in the planned year, we re-enrol for another year.
Watch out for the new CoF rules next year. For a full time student in 25/26, we have to deliver 100 hours of maths/English per year to meet CoF. If you're spreading out your teaching over two years, that might be an issue.

Learning Aim Question

Hi All,
I can't quite decide on which is best for this scenario:
We have a student who started with us on 05Sep24. He had previously sat his GCSE Maths at his previous educational setting but did not achieve a minimum of a grade 4. He started working towards his GCSE Maths (again) with us this time, when he started with us in September.
The students expected leaving date is July 2026. However, he has chosen to retake his GCSE Maths Exam in May/June 2025 (he has now been registered). Even though the planned learning hours would usually be spread over 2 years and the amount of planned learning hours, may not be covered in one year, but as he is refreshing, rather than learning from scratch he won't use all of the planned learning hours in one year.
However, if he fails again in Summer 25 - he will continue to retry and resit again the following year (till Summer 26).
SO how do we load the aim dates for this, as the intention is both one year and two years depending on the exam result, plus if one year the planned hours will be less than the guide?
1. Should we enter the expected end date as July 2025 and if fails mark not achieved and re load a new aim to try again when 25/26 ILR comes round?
or
2. Should we enter July 2026 (this being his actual full programme expected leaving date with us) and the intention is he may achieve the GCSE by then - even if he takes the exam in Summer 25?
We don't have many GCSE's here and therefore do not come across the resits and exams like most, therefore I have doubted myself on which is the best option for this scenario.
Any guidance would be great.
Thanks Ems
