Art and Design

Course summary

We are excited to offer a new approach to our A Level course for September 2023. Under the umbrella of A Level Art and design, you will be able to focus on specific endorsements in Photography, Fine Art, Art Craft and Design, 3D Design, or Graphics. This will allow for more continuity from GCSE where we now offer Photography, 3D Design and Art, Craft and Design, as well as providing more diverse and flexible art education to our students. Students choose from a range of themes, use of media and approaches relevant to their chosen specialism. The aim of each Art & Design course will be tailored to meet students’ particular strengths and interests. You will be part of the annual Art Exhibition which will showcase your effort and outcomes from the two years. Most of our pupils apply to Art & Design Foundations Courses after their A level. Some apply directly to a BA course if they are secure in the specialism they are choosing. Graphic Design, Illustration, Architecture, Fine Art, Photography and Printmaking have been popular choices in previous years.
