Pupils can choose GCSE Art & Design, Photography or Graphic Communication.
GCSE – Specification
Pupils are introduced to the course work structure using research, contextual awareness, use of materials and technology and a complete a course work project, incorporating research in sketchbooks/workbooks. The use of artists’ work to inform and inspire becomes increasingly important. In Year 11 a second completed course work project is undertaken and a timed externally assessed paper. Sketch books / workbooks are increasingly important and make up an essential component of their course work.
