Coursework assignments are set to draw upon skills previously acquired at GCSE. Themes are led by the student and should reflect a deeper understanding on technical ability, imagination and creativity. Students will also take inspiration from and interpret ideas developed by influential artists and movements. Where appropriate, gallery visits will be scheduled. AS Fine Art is also offered.
The normal expectation for entry to our Sixth Form is six Grade 9 - 5 or equivalent at GCSE, but we do consider all applications on an individual basis, so if you have any concerns about meeting these grades please come and speak to myself or Mr Smith, our Assistant Principal (Academic). Successful completion of a GCSE course provides a preparation for the progression to more adventurous work at A Level. An interest in the visual world and confidence in handling materials would be pre-requisites for the subject.
