How & When

In KS4 pupils produce highly personalised work and spend year 10 producing projects towards their Component 1 portfolio. These projects start more guided and gradually allow a wider choice of artists and approaches. The last project in year 10 is set up as a mock of the externally set task so that pupils have a chance to experience the controlled practical element they will do in Component 2 of year 11. At the start of year 11 pupils revisit their projects from year 10, improving and selecting work for their portfolios before undertaking the Component 2 externally set task in January.
