The start of Year 12 is based around a series of workshops to embed a range of materials and techniques. Following this, students will make informed choices for their Personal Investigation – an extended project based on an idea, issue, concept, or theme of their own choice. This is a practical project with a written essay component. In Year 13 students will bring their Personal Investigation to a conclusion. They will then work on a practical exam project which has been set by the exam board.
