Media Studies
Head of Subject: Ben Scoffham
In GCSE Media Studies, we envision a transformative educational experience which equips students with a profound understanding of the dynamic role of media in shaping our society. Our vision is to empower students to become critical thinkers, adept communicators, and responsible citizens in a media-saturated world.
GCSE Media Studies fosters media literacy and promotes active engagement with contemporary issues. We strive to cultivate a learning environment which encourages creativity, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the diverse forms of media that permeate our daily lives.
Our commitment is to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century by providing them with the analytical tools to deconstruct media messages, discern bias, and navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving media landscape. Through a rich curriculum, we aim to instil in our students the skills to critically evaluate, produce, and participate in various media forms, from traditional to digital platforms.
