Photography KS4

As part of our Key Stage 4 provision, pupils get the opportunity to choose four subjects that they would like to study further during years 10 and 11. There are a dozen subjects to choose from.  These subjects always take place in the afternoons and are much more practical in nature. 

QUALIFICATION: OCR Entry Level Art & Design

Students concentrate on gaining a qualification in Art & Design with a focus on developing independence in order to make creative decisions. The OCR Art & Design qualification has five areas of study (Fine Art, Graphic Communication, Photography, Textile Design, and Three-Dimensional Design)  Currently the school offers two differing lessons of the same subject and qualification. This is broken down into Art and Photography.
