Our vision for Media Studies at All Saints
Media at All Saints Academy aims to provide a broad curriculum which develops our students’ confidence in critically engaging with media texts of all styles and types and the role it plays within their own lives – with many cross curricular links to English and Business Studies. This qualification has three components that focus on identifying and applying knowledge, skills and practices needed to create media products. The components are strongly interrelated and enable students to investigate how companies research and develop an initial concept into a final product, whilst developing skills for their own future in a media workplace. Students are encouraged to work independently, taking responsibility for their own learning and showing resilience in preparation for future education and career pathways in a vast, creative and constantly shifting industry.
