Our offer for GCSE (9-1) Art and Design

Balanced and accessible assessment structure. Two components with clear component weighting. Each component evidencing coverage of all four assessment objectives, ensuring transparency.

Accessibility is key to communication. We are open to different forms of communication whether through the written word, digital work, audio or video evidence. Ensuring every student can thrive when communicating their personal decision making and direction of travel when creating their artwork.

Creative freedom for the NEA. Our non-examined assessment offers the opportunity for creative freedom across both components. Students have a free choice.

Accessible assessment material. Component 02 – externally set task - our booklet presents students with a range of themes, each accompanied by stimulating words, visual images, or written briefs to choose as their starting point.

Sensible ways of marking. We adopt a genuinely holistic approach to marking, with clear assessment criteria you and your students can easily.

We offer plenty of support. Our support materials offer a variety of resources, including teaching and learning guides, candidate exemplars, CPD course bookings, and more, all accessible on Teach Cambridge. We also offer free subject specialist support to all centres via our subject advisor team.
