Photography can be eye-catching, inspirational and challenging. Digital photography is one of the three specialist A levels that the Art and Design department offers. We have a high level of success within A level digital photography at Churston. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge, techniques and skills to experiment, create and enhance their own photographs. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture and creativity of society. 

Digital Photography:

•Challenges all students to be the best that they can become.

•Provide students with core knowledge required to be successful.

•Develops students who are resilient: creative, reflective and lifelong learners.

•Is coherent and draws links between cross curricular themes.

•Provides learning that accelerates our students’ understanding of the world around them.

•Equips our students with ambition and aspirations so that they become happy and successful members of society.

•Enables students have a range of qualifications that facilitate their next steps in their education and career.
