Who are courses for?
Courses are for all students aged 7 to 17 who enjoy being creative and imaginative. Our students can experience everything from drawing and painting to graphic design and sculpture.
Our courses also focus on well-being - taught in small classes, students benefit from close care and attention from our teachers.
Courses are split into programmes for primary and secondary school students with their own specific aims:
7 to 11 year old programme
These courses are for primary school students, 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 secondary school students 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
These courses run as a block of classes during term time. Students have a fantastic opportunity to really get creative outside of their typical classes.
Saturday classes
These courses run in 5 weeks sessions. Students experience different creative skills and techniques, which they'll use to present a piece at the end of the course.
Holiday classes
We run 5 day art and design courses during half terms and school holidays. In these immersive sessions, students learn closely from our expert tutors.
Residential courses
During our 1 or 2 week courses, students will live and learn art and design in our summer accommodation.
Taster sessions
These sessions allow you to get a small sample of what our inspiring classes have to offer, exploring a short but stimulating project.
