Photography
At Key Stage 4 students can choose to take GCSE Photography. The course is project based. It is planned and sequenced so that students’ knowledge, skills and understanding of different camera and digital skills, techniques and contextual sources are progressively built on over a two-year period. Students sit an externally set assignment at the end of Year 11.
Photography jobs are as vast as the medium is visible in the world. We aim to develop our students as creative thinkers who are provided with the skills and knowledge to construct their own photographic images so that they contain high visual appeal. We want our students to look at the world in a creative way. The artistic potential stimulated within our GCSE Photography course is designed to enable our students to apply experimental, analytical and critical thinking, to visually communicate ideas through photography and digital software. Students will apply critical analyses of artists’ work in order to help them to develop their own ideas through practical application and written reflections.
