In years 7, 8 and 9 pupils are continually assessed against the U.K national curriculum levels and given targets to improve their attainment grades. Self assessment and peer assessment are also used throughout the course.

Throughout the year pupils will produce several different outcomes such as animation, photography, graphics, fine art and sculpture.

G.C.S.E

G.C.S.E students are encouraged to build on their knowledge from KS3 and develop personal and unique outcomes.

Pupils will develop their drawing and painting skills, study art history, explore different media and techniques to produce outcomes in sculpture, photography, graphics, textiles and fine art.

Pupils are also encouraged to visit exhibitions and experience art first hand. International and local visits to exhibitions and museums will be part of the course.

In year 11 pupils will sit a 10 hour exam over two days and complete six weeks of preparation work. This will form 100 % of their IGCSE grade.
