Assessment

Assessment is through a mix of coursework and an examination piece. Coursework (60%) ‘Personal investigation’ based on an idea, issue, concept or theme chosen by the student plus an evaluation of 1,000 – 3,000 words. Final Piece (40%) Externally-set assignment. Students spend a total of 15 hours working on one of a choice of eight tasks. Marks are given for research, idea development, experimentation with new materials and the ability to satisfy a ‘brief’ with a successful final design.
