Course summary

The aim of the courses are to develop creativity and flair, building on the techniques and skills acquired at GCSE. Independent and personal research is positively encouraged and enables students to develop their own exciting ideas around different tasks that are informed by the work of others. We teach as a team and offer a range of specialisms and opinions, which inspire different ways of working in preparation for higher education.

Entry requirements

Enjoyment, enthusiasm and an appreciation for the world around you. Technical ability and a willingness to make a commitment to work regularly outside of lesson times both in school and at home taking ownership of projects. The course is open to students who have no prior experience at GCSE level. But, you will need to put together a recent portfolio of key pieces, providing evidence of ability and interest and complete a task set pre-application if you are interested.

How you'll be assessed

Component 1: Personal Investigation For most of Year 12, students work on increasing their technical skills through projects. Students enhance their knowledge of what a comprehensive project contains and what the assessment objectives ask for. The Personal Investigation Project begins in Term 6 Year 12. Component 2: From the beginning of February in Year 13, students select from the externally set assignment, 1 from stimuli set by the exam board and respond with in-depth investigation fulfilling the assessment objectives. This culminates with a 15 hour supervised test. Students can work in one of more of the ten listed in the specification for photography components 1 & 2.
