Photography

Our course is completely coursework based. The year 11 students are currently completing their external task, which is worth 40% of their final grade. They are working individually on their own responses to their chosen themes.

The department is open during break and lunchtimes.

We will also be hosting an intervention night on Tuesdays until 4.30pm.
