In KS5 students have the opportunity to work in an increasingly independent way. They explore their own ideas by looking at and responding to contemporary artists, developing drawing, painting and recording skills and by experimenting in a variety of exciting and innovative media.
GCSE Art grade 5 or higher
In A-Level Art students follow a course similar to GCSE. Following a series of skills workshops, they produce an independent, self-directed coursework portfolio (Personal Investigation), supported by a related written study (1000-3000 words). The coursework portfolio is worth 60% of their final mark and they sit an externally set task at the end of their second year worth 40% of the overall mark. Both the coursework and the exam are marked using the same assessment objectives.
