Overview
There are four very successful AS and A level courses at Astor.
Fine Art, Photography and 3D Design/Ceramics each have their own discrete Sixth Form studio spaces, in which students are able to work independently outside of timetabled lessons.
Students are introduced to a variety of new approaches and techniques within their chosen specialist areas, and are taught through a series of skills based workshop. Students take part in trips to galleries and museums, broadening their subject knowledge and understanding of the creative culture to which they belong.
Due to changes to the specification, AS is now a standalone qualification; therefore the marks no longer count towards the A Level qualification.
