This broad and dynamic Art, Craft and Design course will encourage you to develop skills, creativity, imagination and independence based on personal experience, taught skills and critical understanding. Workshops will allow you to create responses to a range of areas including Graphic Design, Textiles, Fine Art, 3D Design and Sculpture, securing your confidence for your specialist area. In the second year you will continue in your specialist area setting yourself a brief for your ‘Personal Investigation’ (coursework) to create a body of work using visual and written methods.
• Entry to the Sixth Form is based on meeting the standard entry requirements. These include the passing of Maths and English Language at a grade 4. • In addition to this we use a calculation called Attainment 8 to work out a score for students to indicate their suitability for each pathway. This score is generated by combining a students’ best 8 subject grades, counting English and Maths twice and including a minimum of three Ebacc subjects; Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Core & Additional Science, Computer Science, History, Geography, French, Spanish and German. For Waingels students this score will be included in any reports home. • A Level Pathway (selecting only A Levels): 50 ( Average Grade 5) • A grade 5 in English Language or Literature. No previous Art & Design background is required however they will need at least a grade 4 if the student sat GCSE Art & Design. Their grade will be a good indicator of success on the A Level course.
