My daughter has just been given her GCSE options. Its a last minute shock to find out that the school has decided not to run art. This was her first choice option and she wants to do A level art and a design subject at uni so it's a big blow.
Has anyone got experience of doing art GCSE as an online course? That may be one option. Or has anyone got onto an art A level course without GCSE art, just a portfolio. Any advice on independent study / alternative gateways welcome!
The lack of consultation has been shocking and the options reveal right at the end of term feels deeply cynical and cowardly. We could look at other schools but term is finishing so it's late in the day, and I would prefer not to move my daughter for various reasons.
