This course takes an adventurous and an enquiring approach to art and design. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of past and contemporary art and design practice and be able to produce artwork that embraces a range of ideas. The course is structured on two units for the full A-level certificate. The first term of Year 12 will act as a period to develop skill base and be challenged with media and briefs that may fall outside of the students comfort zone, ultimately encouraging progress, confidence and higher level thinking. The final two terms of Year 12 see students begin their personal investigations (Component 1). This supports students in developing their individual style and beneficially provides a slightly longer time period to decide on a personal focus. Sketchbook, mount boards and final pieces are completed over the year that will be submitted for the A-Level coursework unit.
- GCSE 6 Art, 6 Graphic Communication, 6 Photography - At least five 9 - 5 (A* - C) grades including grade 5 in English and maths
Year 12 Component 1 will be internally set and marked, with staff assessing outcomes against national standards for the examination board; this will result in a department awarded grade. Year 13 Component 1 will be internally set and marked, then externally moderated. Year 13 Component 2 is externally set, internally marked and externally moderated. In May/early June of each course year, students will need to present units for internal (Year r12) or external (Year 13) moderation. This will take the form of an exhibition. Each student will be allocated one or two panels of display screen and a table. Both components must be submitted for Year 12 and both components for the A-level. (The exam piece and supporting work and the complete coursework units).
