The study of art history provides a real sense of the context of global societal development over the past 2,500 years. Giving students a real understanding of key historical, political, social, and economic events, theories, and cultural perspectives, the course enables pupils to hone their research, analysis, and oral and written debating skills. The specification makes the most of the enormous holdings of British museums and galleries and it also allows a degree of freedom for students to make the most of specific areas of interest. Students also visit art in a major artistic European City during the course to see the work in context and reality. We have so far visited Rome, Florence, Barcelona and Paris and will be visiting other cities as well, including Amsterdam, Vienna, Budapest etc according to the girls' selection of works and artists on the course.
● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.
