Exam support

Boost the attainment of your Art and Design GCSE and A Level students through artist-led sessions tailored to exam and coursework themes. 

“We acted independently with our ideas. I felt like a real artist actually doing an artist’s job.”

Supporting your students

Artists will support your students to explore and develop their ideas and skills in the lead up to major assessments. The programme is designed to meet the needs of your students and can include, but is not limited to, the following:

  • One-off intensives or a series of workshops where students learn new processes and engage with artists’ practices to produce original work.
  • A practical artist-led project responding to exam themes.
  • One-to-one tutorials and mentoring to support coursework or exam preparation.
  • A series of activities for a targeted grade boundary group.
  • An inspiration visit to our artist studios or the Nunnery Gallery to expose students to a diverse range of artists’ practices.

“Students participating were C/D borderline. Additional, high quality coursework has helped make these solid Cs.”
