The IB Visual Arts course offers an opportunity for pupils to develop a uniquely independent studio practice and pursue entirely self-determined concepts, methods and aims. Pupils will have the opportunity to discover new skills, refine ideas and present their work ambitiously; in course designed more like an Art Foundation or degree. As such, IB Visual Arts is the best preparation for future endeavours in the creative arts beyond Bradfield. The course encourages pupils to engage with the world around them, with global issues and events through the lens of their own interests. For many, this subject provides welcome moments of detachment from other traditional classroom-based study and a sense of collaboration and community provides a shared sense of accomplishment. Most of all what this course offers is freedom. Freedom to explore methods, ideas and interests important to you.
The following are required for entry into the Sixth Form: • A Headmaster’s or Headmistress’ reference from the pupil’s current school • Attainment of a satisfactory standard at the Assessment Day and Scholarship Examinations or Exhibition assessments, where appropriate • Six (I)GCSE passes at Grade B (6) or above, with a minimum of Grade C (5) in English Language and Mathematics
