Whether choosing to study A Level Fine Art, Art Craft and Design, Photography, or Visual arts at IB we actively promote creativity and personal investigation through the exploration of processes and techniques. This broadens each student’s skill base through a supported and inspirational environment. Our courses allow creative ability to flourish whilst following a personal journey through a range of practices encompassing many components and methods such as: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, fibre arts and photography. The breadth of our course enables students to develop conceptual and representative themes such as the figure, still life, landscape and location as well as issues based on religious work. We pride ourselves on offering a personalised learning experience to higher line art students to ensure we work to the strengths and passions of the individual. All students will experience a series of workshops in techniques of printmaking, construction, colour and the application of paint that will help to extend their skills and enrich their creativity. Students are encouraged to take ownership of individual creative ideas but are supported and guided through development and outcomes.
Entry to the Sixth Form is based upon interview (via video or telephone call, if international), a satisfactory performance in the entrance examination, completion of a 500-word handwritten personal statement and submission of satisfactory school reports and school reference. We would also expect good performance at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants would normally be required to have obtained a minimum of 5 Grade 6 passes at GCSE (or equivalent). Applicants for the Cambridge Technical course would be expected to achieve Grade 4 passes at GCSE including Maths and English Language, together with 3 other Grade 4s at GCSE. Some international pupils may be required to sit the Oxford Placement test. UK boarders will also be required to complete an overnight trial board if becoming a boarder.
