Exam Board: Edexcel

Course Code: 9PYO

Course Specification


Entries for June 2020:

We have been advised by the exam board that there will be NO EXAM for the Arts subjects (Art/Ceramics/ Textiles/Photography) this year.

Students' work will be 100% coursework assessment. This includes the coursework unit sketchbooks and final outcomes and the extended essay.

Students' work will be marked internally by art staff and moderated externally by the exam board.

The externally moderated work will all be submitted digitally. Therefore, it is essential that students keep a high quality ongoing digital portfolio of their work alongside their photography book work.

When submitting their work for final assessment in May, students will be expected to submit their ‘live’ photography book work, final outcomes, and digital portfolio.
