Welcome Year 10 Media Students 2016/2017

My name is Miss Mayhew, I'm the new Head of Media here at BCHS and I'm very much looking forward to working with you on some brilliant projects over the next year. 

With 75% of GCSE students achieving their expected or well above grades from the Summer 2016 results, Media Studies is up from 39% and has nearly doubled in the last six months I have been at the school. 

In this academic year you will be focusing on completing your controlled assessment one - magazines and understanding the film industry for your next controlled assessment. 

Remember throughout this coursework the more original images you can use in the production elements the more creativity and flair you can demonstrate. 

Your examination board for Media Studies is AQA. On the website you can find the current specification (for certification from June 2014 onwards) available to review the assessment criteria and expectations of literacy elements. 

If you've got any questions about Media, or any concerns about the subject or what the course involves, please come and see me at any time. You'll usually find me in 212 (Media Suite) or the Trojan House office.

Let the outstanding media work begin!

Miss Mayhew
