Textiles is an increasingly popular area of Art & Design. This two year course encourages a creative approach to textile design with some emphasis on Fashion, covering the creative, commercial and technical aspects of the industry. Many former students have gone on to build successful careers in the Fashion industry and this A Level is designed to give students a head start.
All students need to have at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above (and a satisfactory school reference) in order to be accepted on an A Level/BTEC Level 3 Programme. In addition, students should meet the following minimum requirements: - Grade 5 in GCSE Art, Textiles or Graphic Design (if taken) - Students can still apply for a place on this course without a ‘creative’ GCSE but they will need to create and present a portfolio of work that demonstrates drawing, construction and creative skills that relate to the Fashion & Textiles course.
Assessment The course is assessed by coursework (60%) and an externally set and marked project-based exam (40%), which students have seven weeks to prepare for.
