Students have the opportunity to develop their skills in painting, drawing, print making and 3D work. They can explore and investigate their own ideas with step-by-step guidance from teacher-led tutorials. There are also trip opportunities such as visits to the Tate, The Saatchi and Curwen Print Centre.
Grade 6 recommended at GCSE or equivalent portfolio of work. GCSE points score 32.
Students are continually teacher- assessed throughout the course with verbal and written feedback.

There is a long preparatory period to allow students to study towards their final outcome with their teacher’s advice. Yr 12 students have a mock exam in June.
