Key Stage 5
Meet the team
From the foundation of KS3 the course leads to (at KS4) the following GCSE (see below). Good partnership subjects that Architects look for are: Science (physics), Engineering, Design and Technology, Art and other creative courses. The same applies to progression at
KS5 with Safa Community School currently offering Product Design A level which would be the natural progression based on what is currently on offer.
With a focus on the design discipline of architecture, students should be seen to complete work that has a strong link to
environmental considerations and sustainability within their practice. Students should be demonstrating skills in visual
communication, both hand drawing and CAD, along with an understanding and application of diagrams and model making skills.
During the 10-hour period of sustained focus, students will
produce their final response(s) to the Externally Set
Assignment, based on their preparatory studies taking place
in term 2 of year 11.
Final response(s) could be a single artefact, a series of
artefacts or a group of artefacts. Students must work
unaided under examination conditions during this time.
The 10-hour period of sustained focus under examination
conditions may take place over multiple sessions (a
maximum of four within three consecutive weeks). Students
must not add to their supervised work between the
supervised sessions for the 10-hour period of sustained
focus, and it is the responsibility of the centre to ensure that
no additional work is brought in to or out of each timed
session. Work must not be added to or altered once
submitted for assessment
