I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it’, Ansel Adams We provide photographic equipment for the students to use, including digital SLR cameras and full photographic studio. The course allows freedom for students to pursue a variety of different avenues within a structure of an A Level examination. Students study an area of personal interest in their coursework portfolio and then an externally assessed project in the Spring term of Year 2. The second year has a requirement to write an essay of 1500 - 3000 words based arounda chosen theme. Photography will allow students to pursue a career in the arts, graphics, media and ICT. It will link into many university courses and the students develop a portfolio that will support their vocational goals.
