Continuing on with the successes of last year, students on two of our courses have enjoyed some amazing success this year. Both courses had a 100% success rate, above our already high expectations.
Students from City of Leeds School came to the CLC for 3 hours a week for the whole year and completed a BTEC Level 2 Award in Interactive Media. This qualification is equivalent to a B grade GCSE (46 points) and covered such areas as game design, graphics, sound and advertising.
Another group of students from several schools: City of Leeds School, Primrose High School and Carr Manor High School, successfully completed a BTEC First Diploma in Media, worth 4 GCSEs grade A* to C. In this course, they developed a variety of media skills such as print production, video production, audio production and animation techniques as well as learning about research for media production, creating products for an audience and the media industry.
We fully expect our year 10 students to be as successful – the vast majority of them have already achieved a BTEC First Certificate in Media, worth 2 GCSEs grade A* to C.
