GCSE Art & Design: Photography

DS will do History, Economics, French as options. Then there is the question of what to do for the fourth option: Either Geography (a third social science if chosen) or GCSE Art & Design:Photography (AQA). While it seems like a fun module to do (if one likes this short of thing: DS seems to relish the connection of this as to ICT as an application) there is a mention in the syllabus description that Art & Design (which shares the same common ojectives with the A&D:Photography) is unendorsed while the photgraphy version is endorsed. Does anyone have any idea what unendorsed means?

Aha, I think I have found the answer to my own question:

"GCSE Art and Design (unendorsed) is a general art and design course, which covers several different areas of the subject.

In GCSE Art and Design (endorsed) you choose just one from the five different endorsed subjects:

GCSE Art and Design (Fine Art)
GCSE Art and Design (Graphic Design)
GCSE Art and Design (Textiles)
GCSE Art and Design (Three-Dimensional Design)
GCSE Art and Design (Photography)"
