Art and Design (Fine Art)

Entry Requirements

A typical Sixth Form student will join Year 12 with a minimum of six GCSEs at Level 5 or above, including Mathematics and English, with Level 6 achieved in those subjects they propose to study at A Level. A GCSE pass in either Art, Photography or Textiles at grade 6 or above is usually required to be considered for Art, Craft or design A-level courses. However, the main requirements are a keen interest in creating ideas and making outcomes. The new linear A-level Art, Craft & Design course will include developing skills in painting and drawing, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, digital media, photography and mixed media work. The A-level Art, Craft & Design course teaches a range of skills and allows students to explore, refine and develop their abilities in the areas of the subject that most appeal to them.
