Functional Skills

Strengthen your English and Maths alongside your main qualification. Build real-world confidence in communication and problem-solving to support success in sport, study and life.

About Functional Skills

Functional Skills in English and Maths form an essential part of every learner’s programme at Wigan Warriors College. These qualifications ensure that all students develop the practical communication and numeracy skills needed for success in both sport and everyday life.

If you haven’t already achieved a Grade 4 in GCSE English or Maths, you’ll study Functional Skills alongside your main qualification as part of your timetable. Classes are small, supportive and focused on real-world applications - from analysing game statistics and fitness data to writing reports, emails and reflections with confidence.

Our tutors specialise in helping learners build confidence and see the relevance of English and Maths within sport, teamwork and future employment. You’ll benefit from flexible teaching approaches, online resources and one-to-one feedback designed to support progress at your own pace.

Achieving your Functional Skills qualification opens the door to further study, apprenticeships or direct employment. It also ensures that you graduate from Wigan Warriors College not only with sporting and vocational expertise, but with the essential skills to communicate effectively, solve problems and succeed in any environment.
