Exams in 2022 - Latest Update from Oct 2021
Following on from the decisions from the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual consultation on the one-off arrangements for exams in 2022, I am pleased to let you know the plans for the GCSE Art and Design qualification.
For summer 2022 only:
students will only complete Component 1 (GCSE Portfolio)
students will not need to start or complete Component 2
exam papers for Component 2 will not be released on Centre Services in January 2022 (for GCSE)
What this means for students at St Ambrose College is that the Art GCSE (Fine Art & Photography) will be based only on the two projects produced in Year 10 and improved in Year 11 (this is your ‘Portfolio’).
It also means that the deadlines for the various parts of each project have changed and are outlined below.
Week 1 (6/9)
Work Set : Students will need to complete the current coursework project by half-term. This is the ‘own choice’ project students have been working on over the Summer break. After half-term student will complete the Cezanne Still-Life project, the deadline for this project will be at the beginning of January 2022.
During Week 1 student work will be assessed and a plan of action formulated. Priorities will substantially be based on how much of the Summer break priorities have been completed.
Students will then need to start the Final Piece for the current coursework project (if they have not already done so over the Summer break). It is proposed that the final piece is completed during lessons and any other missing work (or work that requires improvement) by completed for homework.
There will be weekly deadlines for the various homework produced for each of the 4 section of the project - Initial Preparatory Work, Artists’ Research Work, Development Work, Final Piece Work.
