GCSE Media Studies
GCSE Media studies is an exciting mix of practical and theoretical study. GCSE results are consistently high with 85% of students achieving an A* to C in 2012
For the Single Award, there is the opportunity to produce magazines, short films, advertising campaigns and web - based projects. There is an examination in Year 11 on a pre-released topic and requires essay style and practical responses to four questions. The examination is worth 40% of the GCSE. The practical coursework is worth 60% and students work with Publisher, Powerpoint and Paintshop on the PC system and iMovie on our Apple Macbooks.
