60% Coursework Portfolio   40% Practical Exam Examination Board AQA

We will accept grades A* - B at GCSE to be able to continue to study Photography at AS level.  Groups are limited in size and therefore a clear focus at GCSE is important to progress on to AS level.  We use the AQA Exam Board and the course at AS is split – 60% coursework portfolio and 40% externally set assignment.  At A2 it is split to 60% personal investigation and 40% externally set assignment.  We have a 100% pass rate at AS and A level and our pupils have the chance to take part in trips to develop their work and ideas.
