Art and Design

Entry Requirements

Pupils will be required to have gained a 6 or above in GCSE Art & Design or to produce a portfolio of work to provide evidence of sufficient aptitude for the subject. The Head of Art will make a decision on a student’s suitability for the course based on this portfolio. The A Level course is designed in the first year to develop those skills and practices learnt at GCSE. The second year builds upon the creative thinking and technical skills acquired in Y12, allowing for greater maturity and depth of study. This is a very broad specification which will allow students to explore visual language in a full range of disciplines including textiles, graphics and photography.
