Year 2 students will take 7 units over the course of the year including Experimental Photography, Social Action, Critical Approaches, Writing Copy, Production Management, Page Layout and Design, and Design for Advertising. They will have 3 main tutors and complete 2-3 units at a time. Work experience is required if not going to university. Tutorials will now be group sessions. Students are expected to arrive on time, attend all lessons, avoid distractions, and follow the disciplinary process. The first term will focus on target grades, photography, critical approaches, and the UCAS application process.

1. Welcome
Year 2

7 units to go
• Experimental Photography

3. Tutors:
Dave – Progress tutor and mostly teaching you
Ben – Experimental photography (1st term)
Josh - Everything

4. No rotations any more
You will tackle 2 or 3 units at a time in different parts of the week just to
break it up.
There will be homework.

5. Work Related Learning:
The latest fun government initiative. You have to be doing work that will
eventually help you in your career and in work.
We’ll worry about it for you but you might have to keep a diary or
something.
First term will be all about UCAS.
Finding courses and writing your personal statement and then rewriting your
personal statement as well as filling in the form.
Second term will probably be about building a portfolio or something.

6. Work Experience:
If you tick that you are going in to work, rather than university, you will
have to do work experience.
This needs to be around 70 hours of work.
It can’t be in a big chunk it has to be a few hours per week over lots of
weeks.
You have to arrange it yourself.
It has to be on a study day.
It can’t be where you already work.
Just tick the box that says university.

7. Tutorials:
Tutorials will now (almost certainly) be group tutorials. You will all be
expected to attend for all sessions.
1 to 1 tutorials will have to fit in to that somewhere.
If you need to discuss something personal, we can do that outside of this
time.

8. Basics:
Turn up on time to all of your lessons. In fact, turn up a couple of minutes
early, just in case.
Turn up to all of your lessons. Use the absence hotline and email (both) to
let your tutors know if you are too ill to come in. Bring evidence of
appointments.
Don’t eat in lesson.
Don’t drink anything other than water out of a container which has a lid.
Don’t be using your e-cig in lesson when you think I can’t see.
Leave your phone alone
Don’t use Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter… you’re not in a room much longer
than an hour at a time. Nothing is that important.

9. Serious:
Disciplinary procedure is much the same.
Level 0 (who thinks this up) Warning
Level 1 Official Verbal warning
Level 2 Written Warning
Level 3 Final written warning
Level 4 Out the door
Consistently late or absent, falling behind in work, breaking class rules, poor
attitude…
Don’t go down this route.

• Target and predicted grades
• Social Action (main project)
