Year 12 The first year of the course will allow you to explore a broad and diverse range of practical and conceptual starting points for exploring photography. This will involve still and moving images, research work in galleries and museums and travelling in and around London, and abroad, to build your portfolio and work journal. Specific tasks are linked to the history and theory of Photography as well as contemporary practice. Year 13: Unit 1 This is your project and will allow you to develop personal ideas and carry out in-depth research into your chosen area of photographic practice, from documentary to portraiture, fashion to travel and beyond. Research that underlines your practical exploration of photography and other lens-based media is a key component of the Personal Investigation Year 13: Unit 2 Externally Set Assignment. Build a portfolio of images and research investigating one theme from the options made available at the start of the Spring term. A short project that requires you to put into practice all the practical and research skills you have learnt up to this point.
In general, external applicants are required to achieve at least five GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above (as required by individual subjects) for entry into our A-level courses. Grade 7 or above in Art and Design or Photography GCSE, or on submission of a portfolio of photographic work.
The A level is assessed through two components: Component 1: Personal Investigation (60%) Component 2: Externally set assignment (40%)
