This day will provide an opportunity for teachers in the South West of England to meet together towards the end of the first year of teaching the new History of Art syllabus. The focus will be on marking and assessing a full range of questions. Materials from the Pearson website (Edexcel AS and A level History of Art 2017 | Pearson qualifications) will be used, alongside other sample answers from Year 12 students provided by Art History in Schools.
