This blog is my teachers blog from a
previous school The Leigh Academy in Dartford where I was Head of Media
Studies. It includes work and assignments covered in the A level Media Studies curriculum
over a two year period.
In recent years I have taught and guided
hundreds of students through the AS and A level Media Studies course. During
the six years that I was Head of department at LTA, Media Studies students consistently
achieved top results at A level. Additionally, in spite of the fact that it was
a mixed ability cohort annual results were regularly above the national average
for the subject.
Media Studies is a standardized A level
qualification. This means that all courses at A level are measured by the
combined exam board to ensure that there is parity across all A levels and to
guarantee a comparable degree of complexity. Although it is difficult to
compare like with like this means that a Media Studies A level is worth exactly
the same UCAS points as any other A level qualification from Sciences/Mathematics, to Art and humanities.
All students received a high standard of
care and this was reflected in the annual feedback comments from the exam board moderator.
On this blog you can view past student coursework films and planning blogs
I hope you enjoy viewing their work.
