Our A’ Level course follows the AQA specifications, which allows a natural transition from the GCSE course. The assessed material is 60% portfolio and 40% exam work, the latter set in Upper Sixth. Pupils are encouraged to include a broader range of media in their preparatory and finished work, developing an inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary approach. A’ Level also affords students of Art the opportunity to engage in greater specialisation in a particular medium or process, pursue extended development of themes, ideas, concepts or issues, and refine their understanding through integrated practical and written forms, and other means of communication. Experimentation is always encouraged.
Generally, students must have at least 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 or equivalent Scottish Highers qualifications for entry to the Sixth Form. Internal candidates are very likely to exceed this minimum requirement with an average 9 GCSEs. It is usual for a student to have achieved a Grade 6 or higher in their chosen areas of study.
