Students can specialise in Fine Art, Graphics or Photography. They will choose a theme for their Personal Investigation and will explore the theme in a variety of ways to meet the set assessment objectives. Students can choose their own ways of working and the Artists and Designers who inspire them. The A Level course is suited to creative and motivated students who already have a sense of their own artistic or creative style. Students who enjoy exploring a single theme in great depth would be better suited to this course.
To be accepted into the Sixth Form, you will need a minimum of five grade 4’s, or higher in GCSE subjects.
The ‘Personal Investigation’ unit has 5 assessment objectives. Students will be assessed on their ability to record their ideas and observations, how well they can experiment and refine their ideas, how well they can relate their ideas to the work of others and their ability to create a professional final outcome. In addition to their practical portfolio, students will complete a research based essay in response to a question that they devise. Students also complete an externally set unit based on a word or theme set by the exam board in Year 13.
