“We are privileged to live in a society which appreciates, educates and nurtures the innovative qualities of the young”. It is no coincidence that the British Textile and Fashion Industry is experiencing international recognition and a renaissance in its global positioning. Why, because we believe and invest in comprehensive technology programmes which harness the skills of the young. Yarm School’s two year Textiles course offers an extensive range of fashion and textiles experiences. The course provides an excellent grounding for any student aiming to go into the world of fashion, buying or design. Equally the value of knowledge and skills gained and the discipline of managing complex design projects to a high level, are recognised and appreciated by other areas of learning. Past students have progressed to study dentistry, medicine and architecture as well as the textile-related courses, at London College of Fashion, Manchester and Newcastle, to name but a few. Typical related career opportunities are; fashion designer, buyer, interior designer, fabric designer, pattern maker, merchandiser, visual merchandiser, technician, marketing, teacher, Art Foundation courses and many more.
