i flopped english lan but all my other gcse are mostly 5 or above

Different sixth forms have different policies - there is no nationwide approach which mandates a minimum grades in GCSE English, although I would expect that many sixth forms would expect higher than a 3 - especially if the A levels you want to study are at all essay-based. (Are they?)

Have a look at the web sites for some sixth forms local to you and check their entry criteria.

A BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma is classed as a vocational qualification. According to the page you have linked to, that means a GCSE grade 4 or higher in English is required. I suggest that you contact them about the possibility of gaining entry with a grade 3, and potentially re-taking it alongside your BTEC.

That's great news. Thanks for letting us know. :smile:

(Well, letting you in without the retake would have been even better, but with the retake is better than not at all!)
