GCSE Art - Grade 5 or higher; BTEC Art level 2 - Distinction. You will need to have a healthy enthusiasm for the subject and be prepared to work hard, particularly with independent study.
Unit 1. Coursework = 60% of final grade and is completed over the course of Y12. Work is assessed by teachers at the end of each project (termly), but students still have the opportunity to respond to feedback and improve their grades up until the end of Y13. In Terms 1-2 of Y13 students complete a Personal Study = 10% of coursework grade. Unit 2. Externally Set Assignment (Exam) is a 10-week project (Terms 3-5) where students complete preparatory work = 75% of the exam grade. The project culminates in a 12-hour timed test, where students complete a final outcome = 25 % of the exam grade. Exam Project = 40% of the final grade.
