If you assess them as below grade 4, then you can fund by exception according to that guidance, as long as you do some delivery, not just the exam (you can never claim funding for just an exam with no delivery, prior attainment is irrelevant in that statement). In my opinion, that needs to be a significant amount of delivery, not just a token couple of lessons. I'd also not be comfortable to trust an assessment that said they were below grade 4, if they managed to achieve a a GCSE 4 in the last year or two. They could deliberately throw an assessment. I'd say that loophole is more for adults who did GCSEs much longer ago.

Retake GCSE to improve grade
Created
Hi all,
Wonder if you have come across a scenario where students (aged 19 above) would like to restudy the GCSE English or Maths to get a better grade to meet university entry requirement? Are they fundable through Adult Skills Funding if they have already achieved a grade 4 last year? What is your interpretation on this sentence " If a learner wants to retake GCSE English and maths qualification because they did not achieve a grade 4 (C), or higher, we will not fund the learner to only resit the exam."
