At A Level, students follow the Edexcel Fine Art course. This is comprised of two components of coursework: a personal investigation (with a supporting contextual studies essay), and an exam paper given at the start of Year 13. In the Sixth Form we offer Art A Level to those who have gained good qualifications at GCSE. Students will extend the skills and techniques learnt previously through practical work The department consistently gains excellent examination results and high ‘value added’ scores Students regularly progress to Art Foundation and study Architecture/Design-based subjects at top universities.
The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however, those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. At least a Grade 6 in Art or a related subject
