You may use traditional methods such as photographic film and digital techniques to produce images. You will be encouraged to study both historical and contemporary photographers within your portfolio of work.
The standard entry requirement for students entering Sixth Form is 6 GCSEs at grade 5 or above with a grade 7 or above in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level.
