There is synoptic assessment in both components of the AS and A level that provide stretch and challenge opportunities for students as follows: Year 12 Component 1: Students produce an extended collection of work that exemplifies aspects of their developing knowledge, skills and understanding. It should provide evidence of research, the development of ideas, making skills and critical/ contextual understanding. It should demonstrate the student’s ability to sustain work from an initial starting point to a realisation. Component 2: Students respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work which provides evidence of their ability to research and develop ideas and to make clear the link between their own and others’ work within specified time constraints. Year 13 Component 1: Students develop work based on an idea, issue, concept or theme leading to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. Practical elements should make connections with some aspect of contemporary or past practice of artist(s), designer(s), photographers or craftspeople and include written work of no less than 1000 and no more than 3000 words which supports the practical work. Component 2: Students respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work which provides evidence of their ability to work independently within specified time constraints, developing a personal and meaningful response which addresses all the assessment objectives and leads to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes.
L4 or above in either Art or Design and Technology RMT or textiles Hollyfield Sixth Form entry requirements minimum of five good passes at grades 4-9 at GCSE.
Students will be assessed at the end of year 12 to give them an idea of what grade they are working at. They will complete two final units in year 13 which will culminate their final ‘A’ level grade
