- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 3 November (HL Deb, col 844), whether there have been any further developments concerning the future of Art History A-level.
- Answer
-
On 1 December 2016, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Minister of State for School Standards made a Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) stating that the exam board, Pearson, has confirmed its intention to take forward development of an A level in History of Art. The WMS has been attached to this answer.
Pearson’s aim is that the new A level will be available for first teaching from September 2017. Students currently studying the existing qualification are unaffected.
