Art and Design

Course summary

There is an increasing demand for creative and innovative people in industry and business in Great Britain and abroad. Art and Design pupils are such people. Creativity takes on many forms and, likewise, the creative industry encompasses a broad array of jobs requiring different practices, talents and skills. Apprenticeships including Art Therapy, Stage Design, Visual Effects for film and television, Creative Blacksmithing, and Game Design, allow pupils to immerse themselves in the world of creative work beyond the school environment. This subject provides, at the very least, a life enhancing experience and at best a foundation which could open the door to a relevant University Degree and career.
