Opportunity to gain an accreditation will be available to those who would like to; but there will not be pressure to do this...

There will be minimal written work and all portfolios can be built using various applications to suit each individual needs

Accreditation takes place by an external moderator from the Arts Council

**Moderator Fees apply

Your child will be given the opportunity to learn the basics within a selection of art subjects as listed within term 1

This then gives them the opportunity to investigate and develop certain areas of the arts that they find is of interest to them and start to produce a portfolio of work that demonstrates their learning

The option then is to either build the portfolio for their own benefit or for submission for their Arts Award

Your child’s abilities and knowledge in the arts would be assessed internally as to whether they start at Bronze or Silver level

The Arts Award levels equal the following:

Bronze: NCFE

Silver: GCSE

Gold: AS level

A child can achieve these levels at various ages and it is not based on age, but on ability and understanding and lastly being able to confidently demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of a specific or accumulated chosen subject

There is very little written work and how they demonstrate their work can be through various platforms which suit your child’s needs

The course is run within term timetables and is a roll on... so your child can attend for as long as they like and develop as far as they like
