Curriculum Statement
Photography is taught at GCSE and A Level. Students are able to achieve a GCSE and at Key Stage Five an A Level in Photography
Creativity is something that nearly all employers desire in many varied fields and is seen globally as one of our country’s strengths. The Art departments’ aim is to inspire all students to unlock their creativity and to foster a work ethic that allows them to explore a range of approaches, ideas and outcomes successfully.
We encourage students to take an analytical and reflective approach to their understanding of methods, processes and outcomes of their own work and that of others. The subject encourages refinement of ideas so that our students understand how to develop their skills and ideas even further. The breadth of these skills, knowledge, understanding and experience will only strengthen creativity further.
