Subject Information

The media saturates everything we do in the developed world in the 21st Century. Pupils are given the tools to analyse and critique the media; affording them the chance to see the ways in which the media pervades their lives. Pupils are invited to make their own films, newspapers or even create their own music videos. It's extremely hands-on; pupils interact with modern technology in lots of ways, using all the customary IT programmes such as word processing and presentation software as well as video and sound editing software.
