This practical course is ideal for creative students who enjoy exploring design and pattern through working with fabrics, dyes and printmaking. A GCSE in Textiles is not essential, but experience in a visual subject or a portfolio of work would be preferable. Students will be introduced to a wide range of creative textile working techniques and approaches. Students will further be expected to produce their own practical Personal Investigation and undertake a practical exam at the end of the year.
To meet our Sixth Form entry requirements, applicants must have attained at least a grade 5 in both English Language and Mathematics, and have a “Best 8” GCSE points score of at least 48 points with at least a grade 6 in the subjects chosen or in a related discipline.

Component 2: Externally set task (40% of total A-Level mark) - An early release paper will be issued on 1st February from which candidates will choose one starting point to base a personal response.
