NEW YEAR 9 EXTRA CURRICULA GCSE IN MEDIA STUDIES

From September we will be running a New GCSE in Media Studies for year 9 students as an extra curricula course with a strong element of e-learning. This means that you will need to commit yourself to one and a half hours a week on a Wednesday afternoon and about another hour a week learning online or involved in media projects. The course will also involve you in some media workshops during the half terms for one or two days - though not every half term.

The benefit of doing this course now is that you will develop skills that you can use in other subjects, engage with the media which YOU are interested in, create your own media products from Magazine covers through to film trailers or music videos. You will also still have your three options choices untouched allowing you to choose all those other brilliant subjects that you might want to do.

It is a big commitment, but one which offers you some very real opportunities not least engaging in a challenging but fun extra curricula activity which will lead to a genuine GCSE qualification.

Students are invited to apply for the course now.
