Description
For those looking to blend academic rigour with artistic expression, our Level 3 Photography course offers an ideal platform. This online Photography course is tailored for students who wish to complement their sixth form studies with a creative subject, or for aspiring photographers targeting a university course in the field. Available at Cambridge Home School, the Level 3 Foundation Diploma specialising in Photography equates to two A Levels in terms of potential UCAS points.
Our Level 3 Photography online course is designed to be entirely flexible, allowing for 100% online completion. There is no need for an examination centre; instead, student portfolios are submitted directly to the examination board for final assessment, making this a convenient and accessible entirely online Level 3 Photography course.
Homework, Assessment and Reporting
In the sixth form, students are expected to complete at least one piece of homework per subject each week. To ensure success, it is advisable to revise notes and consolidate learning after each lesson. Guided by the principle that an hour of independent study should complement every hour of in-class instruction, our course structure aims to reinforce and deepen your artistic skills and knowledge.
Assessment frameworks are comprehensive and designed to be as practical as the subject itself. Reports, issued three times a year, include grades for attainment and effort in each subject, complemented by written feedback from Success Coaches and the Head Teacher.
Parental Engagement
We encourage parents to utilise their family Teams account to maintain ongoing dialogue with teachers regarding their child’s progress throughout the academic year. This enables more detailed tracking and assessment of each student’s development, offering a unique advantage over traditional annual parent consultation evenings.
