The Faculty of Art and Design has an astounding track record of top A Level grades across its endorsements over a decade and offers our pupils the opportunity to study everything from functional design or applied design, through to Fine Art. In a world saturated with imagery and visual communication, it has become increasingly important to become visually literate as well as verbally literate and numerate. Within these endorsements, whether photographic or three-dimensional, pupils will understand that graphic design is about communication and selling, that functional design is about creating and making objects with a physical purpose and function, and that Fine Art is about personal expression and visual perception.
An offer is conditional on attaining a minimum of Grade 4 in English and Mathematics at GCSE/IGCSE and a minimum of Grade 6 in the subjects applicants hope to study at A Level. For an A Level endorsement, a previous study of Art and Design at GCSE and attainment of at least a grade 7 is desirable. A willingness to draw is necessary and will be taught.
