Course summary

Year 12 includes an introductory skills course, as a series of mini studies and a Personal Investigation. This runs until Term two of Year 13 when the externally-set assignment begins. We aim to provide a rich environment in which we encourage and value creativity through the experience of a wide range of activities and processes. Throughout the course, students will analyse the work of other artists; experiment with media and materials; record ideas and present personal responses that realise their intentions.

Entry requirements

Entry for external candidates at 16+ is conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 (or equivalent), including a minimum Grade 6 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level or can provide evidence that they would succeed in the given subject at A Level standard.

How you'll be assessed

All work is assessed at the end of Year 13. Component 1 which runs from Year 12 to Year 13 is worth 60% and the externally set assignment, set in the February of Year 13, is worth 40% of final marks. The final exam is 15 hours (over three days), after which an external moderator comes in to verify the marks awarded.
