You will follow the AQA art, craft and design syllabus, which allows you to explore many different aspects of the subject. The course is designed to build on the skills, knowledge and understanding introduced at GCSE and you are required to develop practical work supported by critical/ contextual studies in one or more of the following disciplines: drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, installation, printmaking, moving image video, film, animation and photography.
The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). A minimum GCSE art grade 6 is strongly recommended. You should have an enquiring mind, be highly motivated, and are expected to be an organised, self-disciplined, independent thinker.
Both the personal investigation unit and the externally set assignment are assessed internally by departmental staff and then moderated by a visiting examiner from AQA.
