A level Fine Art inspires an enquiring and adventurous approach to image creation. The core skills of visual recording through drawing with a diversity of materials is a central component of this course; essential for both the forming of ideas, visualising intentions and emotions. Within the Lower Sixth year, investigative and experimental tasks are set that broaden control of a range of two and three-dimensional media and processes. During the Upper Sixth year, pupils acquire the necessary techniques needed for the creation of their own Personal Investigation project, working to varying scales within their chosen specialism.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
