To kick start the IGCSE course Year 10 students had a fantastic day out in Málaga in October, visiting the Pompidou centre and the CAC. The new permanent collection focusing on Utopias proved a great starting point for discussion on contemporary art and the students were engaged and enthusiastic in their responses to the guided tour. We took an amble through Málaga, taking in some great examples of street art before arriving at the CAC. The work of American artist Hernan Bas proved very popular with some expert sketching by our budding artists.
Language and Literature (Language A). Students take their studies in a language in which they are academically competent.
Language acquisition (Language B). A modern language course with an emphasis on understanding another culture through its language.
Individuals and Societies: Provides for the development of a critical appreciation of the nature and activities of human activities in history and the physical, economic and social environment that people inhabit.
Experimental Sciences: The exploration of concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these, develop their understanding of the scientific method.
Mathematics: The development of mathematical knowledge, concepts and principles and the development of logical, critical and creative thinking.
The Arts: Students develop their understanding of the dynamic and changing nature of the arts and explore the diversity of arts and learn to express themselves with confidence and competence. Students may opt to study an additional science, individuals and societies, or languages course, instead of a course in the arts.
