Subject Vision and Intent

GCSE Photography: lens-based and light-based media.

We aim to provide an educational experience in which students can apply technical knowledge and understanding to the practical application of photography that prepares students for further education and industry. We aim to support students in visually communicating a broad spectrum of thoughtful and creative personal responses through a process of; research and critical analysis, a range of methods for recording and presenting and through the trialling and development of appropriate media and processes.
