In the sixth form we follow the AQA specification. This is a broad –based course introducing students to a variety of experiences using a range of media, processes and techniques, for example: Digital and traditional photography, experimenting with a variety of backdrops, lighting systems and cameras. At A level, candidates are required to work on individual projects with a great deal of independence. Personal projects should be used to deepen knowledge and to express ideas.
GCSE Art, Media or Photography Grade 5 It is not essential that you have a GCSE in a creative subject but it is essential that you have a strong passion for Photography.
Component 1 is a personal investigation based on an idea, issue, concept or theme supported by 1000-3000 words (60% of final grade). Component 2 is an externally set assignment; candidates are given a question paper containing 8 starting points from which they choose one. Students are then required to develop a project around their chosen theme. 15 hours of unaided, supervised work completes this unit of work. (40% of final grade)
