Course summary

Pupils are encouraged to develop their own practical skills, and to become independent thinkers and learners. Alongside their own practice pupils develop their ability to research and investigate historical, cultural and contemporary art practices to inform their own work. We offer the AQA A Level in Art and Design in two titles. Depending on the individual pupil’s strengths and experience a choice can be made from the following: Fine Art – Pupils produce work in one or more areas including: painting, drawing, mixed-media, sculpture, land art, installation, printmaking, lens-based and/or light-based media. Three Dimensional-design – Pupils produce work in one or more areas including: ceramics and sculpture using a variety of media.

Entry requirements

Sixth Form candidates are expected to achieve strong GCSE grades across the board. As a minimum, pupils should gain a 7 or above at GCSE in the subjects (or relevant subjects) they hope to study at A Level or at Higher Level within the IB. Particularly at A Level, that requirement moves up to an 8 for either Maths or any of the three traditional Sciences.

How you'll be assessed

Personal Investigation: 96 marks (60% of A Level). Externally set assignment: Preparatory period + 15 hr supervised time 96 marks (40% of A Level).
