Art and Design (Photography)

Assessment

There are two components to the A-level course. • Component 1 (60 per cent of A-level) Personal investigation is a practical investigation into an idea, concept or theme supported by written material. This should be a coherent, in-depth study that demonstrates your ability, informed by an aspect of contemporary or past practice of photography. • Component 2 (40 per cent of A-level) Externally set assignment involves responding to a title set by the examination board. You will have a preparatory period to deeply research your chosen topic. This is followed by 15 hours of supervised time to produce a finished outcome based on your preparatory work.
