Art and Design is both a form of communication and a means of expressing ideas and feelings. It forms a language which complements those of literary, mathematical, scientific and factually based subjects, and is especially concerned with the development of those complex mental processes involved in visual perception and aesthetic experience. Through the opportunities the course provides for personal expression, it encourages imagination, sensitivity, conceptual thinking, powers of observation and analytical and practical abilities.
We expect all pupils progressing from UV into the Sixth Form at Wycombe Abbey to achieve a minimum of six GCSE passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. A GCSE grade 7 or above is required for the subjects you wish to study at A level (excluding those subjects which are not offered at GCSE, although a grade 7 or above should be achieved in a subject which requires similar skills). Should a pupil not achieve this standard, a discussion will be held with the pupil, her parents and relevant staff members to support them in finding a suitable alternative route.
All work is displayed as an exhibition. It is all internally marked and externally moderated by a visiting moderator from the examination board at the end of the Upper Sixth in June.
