Chelsea FC and Kent Crusaders Basketball Instructions:

Students must choose three (3) different subject options from three different Option Blocks (you cannot choose the same subject more than once). If a student is selecting the Chelsea FC or Kent Crusaders options, they will need to pick 3 A Levels/BTECS to study alongside this. Students should ensure they are predicted or have achieved grades that meet the entry criteria for chosen options by consulting the UKAT Sixth Form Course booklet. The blocking structure can be amended dependent on course sign up and other timetabling factors.

Students will experiment with a range of 2D and 3D media, processes and techniques, as well as a variety of traditional and new technologies. Examining bygone and contemporary images, artefacts and resources across the globe will be integral to understanding different styles, genres and traditions in their investigating and making processes. All units involve creative problem solving through a range of case studies and students are encouraged to find alternative ways of finding a solution through experimental exploration.

Assessment consists of a personal investigation weighted at 60% of the qualification and an external component contributing to 40% of the overall mark, with all units being internally assessed and externally moderated.

A Levels: 5 GCSEs at grade 5-9, including English and mathematics plus a grade 6 or level 2 merit in Art

Completion of this qualification will give between 16 and 56 UCAS points onto a degree course or entry to the workplace and can lead to further study and careers including fine art, graphics, interior design and set design.
