A FOURTH ROYAL HONOUR FOR APETITO AS IT WINS KING’S AWARDS FOR ENTERPRISE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2024
History of art A-level discontinued
The last exam board to offer history of art A-level have announced it will no longer do so
Exam board AQA sent a letter to teachers, saying it was struggling to recruit "sufficient experienced examiners" to mark and award specialist topics.
"Our decision has nothing to do with the importance of the history of art," said an AQA spokeswoman.
The decision came about following government changes to A-levels in England, which have required new syllabuses in all subjects. Earlier this year, the board sent out a new history of art syllabus for consultation, which received widespread approval - but now it says that it has decided not to develop it for teaching in 2017.
Students taking the current course will be unaffected and will be able to take their AS-level exams in 2017 and A-level exams in 2018, says the board. But once that course is phased out, they will be the last to take history of art for A-level.
