Students are able to enjoy a series of creative textile projects and workshops, exploring ideas about natural form, developed via areas of study, including sculptural textiles, experimental weaving, printmaking and digital media. In Year 12, students undertake an intensive period of creative study under the guidance of specialist tutors and develop a personal response to a topic selected from an early release paper, each with a range of written and visual starting points, briefs and stimuli. In Year 13, students may specialise in their strongest area of interest, developing a highly personal direction supported by the tutors. There is a regular figure drawing class for all A-level students and access to a wide range of facilities. The practical elements are supported by a written related study in which the student explores the artists that have influenced them. A wider appreciation is developed via gallery visits locally and nationally. Students combine their knowledge and understanding to support their coursework portfolio.
