Media and Film Studies is a really popular subject and has been a successful addition to the Year 9 Option choices.

 

The study of Media allows students to use their own experiences of the world in their understanding of the theory and practical application of media skills. Students are able to design and create authentic media texts and have the opportunity to visit media institutions such as the London Film Museum, the British Music Experience at the O2 and the IMAX cinema.
