Art, Craft and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

The A-Level grade is 60% coursework and 40% externally set assignment. The A-Level course consists of one personal investigation chosen by the student, a written assignment of between 1000-3000 words and an externally set assignment. Students are challenged to lead their education, learning from each other through group critiques as well as from the teacher. Students are given one to one support in and outside of lesson time. Students are encouraged to use the department in their free time and trips to galleries in London are used to expand learning and ground the course in the context of the wider art community. Many of our students continue to further education and are supported in developing a portfolio.
