Art and Textiles are extremely broad and varied subjects which require students not just to be creative but also to be confident and self-critical so that they learn to articulate their creativity. Whilst there is certainly an element of traditional fine painting and drawing, students are expected to actively explore other media such as print-making, sculpture, ceramics, photography and digital media. In Textiles, whilst students make pieces of couture, it is still the case that designs will include elements of painting, drawing, printing and photography.
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.
