Art is an expanding subject which offers various specialisms with a personalised approach. We have two purpose built and well-equipped studios, a graphics suite, photographic studio and darkroom. Students choose from one of the endorsements to study throughout their A Level: Fine Art, Textiles and Photography.
Entry requirements for the A Level course are a level 6 or above at GCSE. If applying externally, please apply with a portfolio. All students who wish to take Photography at A Level do not need to have taken GCSE Art and Design, but do need to provide a Portfolio of at least 50 photographs that will demonstrate their skill level before joining the course.
All students will follow the AQA examination board specification for their Art and Design courses, completing a specific skills-based unit, extended portfolio, including a personal investigation and an externally set task. For example, the skills section of the Photography course covers digital photography and manipulation skills using Photoshop, alongside use of the darkroom.
