NEW TERM

Lots to achieve and the main priorities are to ensure that:

GCSE Students complete Assignment 2 while at the same time learning about Action and Adventure Films. The potential to get a little confusing and quite busy. I will be minding the A&A while Claire and Emma deal with the Controlled Assessment on Advertising. A mock exam will be held for GCSE students at the end of term.

Also two students will have the chance to complete their work experience at a Post Production house in Soho, interviews will be in February.

We are also planning to set up things for the summer and begin a season of film screenings in the theatre which will cover some classic international movies. suggestion for the season are welcome.

AS students are completing their Production Portfolios and beginning work on TV drama, Emma and I will be sharing this. Most production are on track but there have been some issues with one group and a tight rein will be necessary this term to ensure that all complete at the highest level. A mock exam will be held for AS students at the end of term.

A2 students are finishing their CI essays and planning their Linked Productions - most are a little behind the curve so some work to do with them. In addition lots of practice with exam work is necessary.

The department is now better resourced and we have the chance to grow. So a big push with the Year 9 students to assist take up in year 10. I will be doing assemblies soon I imagine...
