No, See the guidance:
- We made a change to our maths and English condition of funding guidance that will applies from the academic year 2019 to 2021, students with a grade 2 or below in maths or English can study towards a pass in functional skills level 2 (legacy or reformed) or they can still study towards a GCSE grade 9 to 4. Once they have achieved this, there is no requirement to undertake further maths or English qualifications to meet the condition of funding.
Note: prior attainment takes precedence over initial assessment results so the above applies.

Hello,
For study programmes would you expect to see a learner enrolled at the level above their initial assessment/diagnostic results for functional skills?
An example - Learner has achieved grade 2 at GCSE, IA and Diagnostic show entry 3 attainment - can the learner be enrolled at E3 and progress to L1?
thanks,
