What specialist equipment will my child need? 

Whilst we provide copies of the texts for students to use in class, we would strongly advise that you purchase your own copy to bring to each lesson to use for annotations and revision:  

  • Media Studies: set text booklet available in PDF format in the subject area of the website. Please check for the correct year. 

 

What revision guides do you recommend? 

These are optional to buy (and other versions are also available), but we would suggest purchasing some of these to use alongside your course: 

  • WJEC / Eduqas GCSE Media Studies Student Book (Revised Ed. 2022) (ISBN-10: 191396325X)
