The course is based around the study of visual communication; the way in which visual imagery and text work together in all aspects of design, illustration and advertising. The project briefs that the students receive determine the starting point to which each student responds. The work that they develop is determined by the personal direction that individual students take and can be in whichever format is most appropriate to intentions.
The normal expectation for entry to our Sixth Form is six Grades 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 Mrs C L Wheeler or Mr Smith, our Assistant Principal (Academic). The best foundation for success in A Level Graphics is a good grade at GCSE. You should have an understanding of the basic elements of art and also some understanding of the place of art, craft and design in the world, its history and its purpose. Above all, you need an interest in drawing and creating and the determination to develop that interest.
