Course summary

The Art A-level at St Claudine’s Catholic School for Girls has a tradition of excellence and prides itself on a long history of success. Students work as individuals and within small groups; this enables our staff to offer inspiring, stimulating lessons and to give students individual attention. We offer a multitude of disciplines, processes and skills, as well as visits to galleries to complement your studio work. You may choose to concentrate on one or two of these as the course progresses. We aim to develop your individual work through: intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive powers; investigative, analytical, practical and expressive skills; aesthetic understanding and critical judgement; understanding of contexts and inter-relationships between Photography, Art and Digital Media Design; knowledge of Photography, Art and Digital Media Design in contemporary society and in other times and cultures. What will you be able to do with the subject at university or as a career? We strive to enable students to pursue their dreams, by winning places in top London foundation courses at University Level 3 in the Arts; we do this by providing high quality specialist teaching. All Art students here at the St Claudine’s Catholic School for Girls are encouraged to do their best and fulfil their creative and academic potential within this discipline. We believe that careful cultivation of skills and abilities, alongside innovative and inspiring teaching, results in students leaving the school as articulate, confident and imaginative young adults ready for a successful career ahead. Speakers, Trips, Conferences or Other Educational Opportunities: While much of the work is studio-based, students will need to meet the demands of the subject through active research, gallery visits and a broad engagement in the whole area of Photography Art and Design. We also offer a regular programme of visits to galleries in London and involve students with visiting artists and lecturers. The year 13 students are given extensive portfolio advice before making applications to the prestigious London art schools. For more information, see Ms Faik
