In Year 12 the course is structured to develop a variety of skills in both digital design and photography, within short brief-led projects. In Year 13 you will have more freedom to specialise and develop one personal and in-depth body of work. Students are encouraged to develop their skills in research, problem solving, marketing, collaboration, independent thinking, professionalism and producing a  marketable product. Students will also understand the potential of self-employment and creative entrepreneurship. Students could expect to continue into professions such as marketing and communications, graphic design, digital and interactive media production, games design, commercial photography and videography, art- working or retouching, wedding photography and more. The Visual Arts department has professional standard studio spaces with Apple Macs, Adobe Creative Suite software, Wacom drawing tablets, a full photography light studio, DSLRs and other  professional photography equipment for students to hire. It also has a wide variety of other arts-based specialist tools and equipment to encourage students to explore multidisciplinary techniques. We operate an ‘open door’ policy to allow students to use the equipment and studio spaces independently outside of their lessons.
