The delivery of Art & Design has now been my passion for over 15 years. I have extensive experience in the design, delivery and leadership of the Art and Design curriculum at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 and have introduced and led the successful delivery of IGCSE Photography and A-Level Digital Media and Design. These subjects have proved to be extremely popular and have opened a new pathway for many students who have wanted to explore a creative subject within the digital realm. I have experience of delivering Art & Design for both Cambridge and EdExcel examination boards with a proven track record of outstanding results.

Deconstruction in Photography - Visual Literacy
IGCSE Photography students face the challenge of studying a subject for the first time at IGCSE and also learning a whole 'new language' in terms of talking about imagery in an analytical way.
