Photography at A level comes under the Art and Design umbrella and as such is very much treated as an art form. The Lens and imaging equipment are used to generate work with aesthetic content and meaning just as are pencil and paint. The course trains the student in the technical skills required both digitally and chemically and acts as an introduction to the potential career opportunities the medium provides.
Candidates will need a minimum of six Grade 6s or above at GCSE and will preferably have Grade 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study at A Level. Students wishing to study Mathematics will require a Grade 8 or 9. For Biology or English Grade 7 will be required. We will also require a minimum of Grade 5 in both English and Mathematics. Where a subject is new at A Level, students will be required to achieve Grade 7 or Grade 6 in related subjects, reflecting the skills required for success in these courses. Ideal candidates will have the technical and aesthetic ability to tackle an Art A level from a photographic perspective and ideally have a GCSE in Art.
