We are a Sixth Form College for students who are ready to make the step up from school to college and want to progress towards Higher Education and high skill employment. Students at the college are proud of how much they move forward in their first year at Monoux. They embrace new approaches to study and enjoy meeting new people. Students tell me that they are amazed at the excellent behaviours and relationship between staff and students at Monoux. We have created a unique learning community, which enables our students to develop personal attributes and abilities alongside their academic or vocational qualifications. Our college day starts later than you will be used to from school. Our entry period is at 9.35am so that we have time to welcome you each day and make sure that you are ready to learn when lessons start at 10.00am.

During the week you will take part in activities and opportunities outside of the classroom, including working with the wide range of employers who want to support Monoux students. We call this programme of activities FutureFest. We support students by focusing on speaking skills, leadership ability and resilience in a complex world. We have high standards and expectations but enable you to become independent. I hope that you will be inspired to make an application with us, and I look forward to meeting you soon. Meanwhile, I hope that you enjoy learning more about the fantastic opportunities that sixth form study will provide at Monoux. Join us and proudly take the step to be a Monoux student!

A Level Graphic Design lessons take place in a designated Art & Design studio space. The space includes access to both the traditional and digital tools necessary to fully experiment and create innovative visual work. Sketchbooks are used to collate research and to chart the development of your idea from a concept to an actual working piece of visual communication. Personal exploration is encouraged throughout the course.

Monoux Sixth Form College Prospectus 2019/20

Some modules are linked to live-client briefs. This means you will work with an employer and turn your coursework into a genuine piece of visual communication. For example, students designed posters promoting Waltham Forest’s ‘Back the Bid’ campaign to become the first ‘London Borough of Culture.’ The completed pieces of work were reviewed by representatives from the council and displayed locally around the borough (Waltham Forest subsequently won the bid too!).

COURSE DESCRIPTION

DISTINCTIVE MODULES

The Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology has been designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to access and progress to degree-level study and employment within the media sector. There is no exam so you are assessed entirely on practical coursework. This provides you with a substantial portfolio and show reel evidence (a requirement for most creative jobs, university courses and apprenticeships). Compared to exam based courses it more accurately reflects the demands and challenges of working in the creative industries. If you have an interest in media or you want to explore, develop and test your creativity then this is the ideal course for you.

Assignments are deliberately diverse to reflect the varied nature of the creative industries but some of the projects learners produce throughput the course include:

The course has been intentionally designed to develop creative and technical skills across the disciplines of both moving image (e.g. video / audio production) and digital design (e.g. graphic design). Due to developments in technology employers are increasingly looking to appoint ‘Mixed Media Specialists’ and learners who study this course will therefore become adept across a range of hardware and software (e.g. Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects etc.).

Monoux Sixth Form College Prospectus 2019/20

• Animation • Music video • Advertising and marketing material (both print and moving image texts) • Short film, TV drama extract, documentary • Campaign video and product design Every project is linked to a live client brief to ensure that student work meets the needs of employers. For example, short films are submitted into an International Film Festival and digital design work is produced for a specific client. Quite often rewards and prizes are given to projects that are ‘commissioned.’

COURSE DESCRIPTION It is impossible to understand the world we live in today without an awareness of the role that the media plays in all aspects of our society. Roger Silverston (London School of Economics and Political Science) said it best: “Media is at the core of experience, at the heart of our capacity or incapacity to make sense of the world in which we live.” In A Level Media Studies you will take ownership of the content by engaging in lively debate and thought provoking discussion, often covering a range of topics such as politics, economics, culture and social relations. A sophisticated understanding of media theory is developed throughout the course, which feeds directly into the production of creative media coursework. In addition, you will develop skills of enquiry, critical thinking, debate, decision-making and analysis. You will also apply theoretical knowledge, make informed arguments and reach substantiated conclusions.

DISTINCTIVE MODULES

• Section B - Media Industries and audiences are explored in detail across marketing, film, radio and video games. Learners are encouraged to consider and question the overwhelming power and wealth that the media holds. Component 3 - Cross Media Production • Although the course is predominantly theoretical there is also a practical coursework component that will allow you to develop sophisticated video and audio skills through the creation of a short video sequence. You will also have the opportunity to develop strong design skills by planning and then making promotional material. • The coursework often contributes to learner’s showreels or portfolio evidence for university interviews. A-Level Media Studies coursework created by our students has gone on to win awards at International Film Festivals.

Topics in year 1 include

Psychology is one of the most popular subject choices at A Level. It gives you experience of scientific theory, research skills, essay writing as well as maths. As such, it can complement a range of subjects.

• Social psychology; why do some people follow the group whilst other stand out? What makes someone obey?

If you study psychology you’ll be able to develop your analytical and organisational skills and learn about scientific research methods, including collecting and working with data. You will learn how to critically evaluate theories and explanations of behavior. You will find yourself applying, without even realizing, much of what you learn in lessons to life outside of the classroom! Learning about human behavior and studying the mind can also help to build your communication skills and improve your teamwork and leadership skills.

• Memory; how our memory works, why some eyewitness recall false memories, why do we forget? • Attachments; why do babies form attachments? What happens if they are unable to form attachments?

• Biopsychology; the study of the mind and how this links to the biology of our bodies • Abnormality; how can abnormal behavior be explained? What causes depression? OCD? How can we treat abnormal behaviour? Topics in year 2 include • Addiction; explanations of addiction, can families cause addiction? • Relationships; how do they form? How do they end? Why do people form relationships with people they have never met? • Schizophrenia; Types of schizophrenia, can schizophrenia be inherited? How can this disorder be treated? • Issues & debates; are we born the way we are or do we become who we are through learning? • Research methods; statistical analysis of data using a range of statistical tests, carrying out your own research
