Poole High School runs a very successful Media GCSE (in 2011 we had a 74% A-C Pass Rate!) Media is a real hands-on experience; we have recently added eight new digital cameras and green screen technology to our collection of equipment thus creating some excellent opportunities for students when they produce their own films. We also have the exciting addition of a school radio system which Media students are encouraged to use and help run. So, if you feel this is for you, it would be great to have you in the frame!

This course could be just the thing you’re looking for!
