From understanding comes strength
th
BANCHORY ACADEMY
In the Senior Phase the skills, knowledge and understanding for Media is fully introduced.
At present the National 4, National 5 and Higher Media courses are offered to 5th
and 6th year pupils only.
Pupils gain skills in analysis, research, creating, producing and evaluation to complete
their course work and become more aware of the world they live in, encouraging more
successful learners and responsible citizens.
At all levels, courses and units are internally assessed within the Media department, subject to SQA verification and quality assurance. The final examination for National 5 and Higher Media entails an externally assessed practical project and an externally assessed question paper.
Media is a recent addition to Banchory Academy. Now in its 3rd year it is proving popular and increasing in uptake.
In Broad General Education Media terminology is introduced through Drama and English courses rather than as a standalone option.
