Courses are split into programmes for primary and secondary school students:

These courses are for kids who want to explore their creativity outside of the classroom.
This programme is designed to:
- Develop new creative skills and techniques
- Build friendships and communities
- Promote well-being and confidence
- Work on creative projects
11 to 17 year old programme
Our courses help teenagers develop their skills and provide guidance for GCSEs, A-levels and beyond.
This programme is designed to:
- Provide an environment to flourish
- Help students create a portfolio of work
- Advise on GCSE / A-level choices
- Give insight into future career opportunities
When do courses run?
We have a wide range of courses that run throughout the year:
After school classes
Run as a block of classes during term time, students have a fantastic opportunity to really get creative outside of their typical art classes.
Saturday classes
In 5 weeks sessions children experience different creative skills and techniques, which they'll use to present a final piece.
Holiday classes
Our 5 day art classes run during half terms and school holidays. In these immersive sessions, kids learn closely from our expert teachers.
Residential courses
During our 1 or 2 week courses, students will experience a wide range of creative activities in our summer accommodation.
Taster sessions
These sessions allow you to get a small sample of what our inspiring art classes have to offer, exploring a short but exciting project.
