A successful Sixth Form artist will usually have studied Art or Textiles previously and achieved at least a B grade at GCSE. They will invariably have the maturity and confidence to consistently work on their pieces over time. Often students will study both Art an Textiles or one of the subjects together with Design Graphics in order to develop a genuine breadth of creative skills and a weighty portfolio
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
