The Textile endorsement provides students with an opportunity to develop a variety of experiences that explore a range of textile media, processes and techniques. The course develops students understanding in a range of disciplines such as fabric printing, mono-printing, relief printing, screen printing, spraying and transfer, fabric construction, stitching, padding, quilting and embroidery. Projects are formed around briefs which introduce students to materials and techniques whilst developing their understanding of how the Textile industry works. At A Level students develop their knowledge and skills through Component 1: Personal Investigation, where they develop a project which deepens their knowledge and understanding. The final Component is a project set by the examination board that culminates in a 15 hour examination. During these examination students develop a final outcome to culminate their project work.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4. Students applying to the 6th Form without GCSEs but with an equivalent qualification must provide confirmation from their most recent educational establishment of courses studied, levels of attainment and equivalent grades with reference to GCSE grades 9 to 1. Additional Requirements: Students will need to have a Grade 5 or above in Art or Textiles GCSE.
