A Level Textile Design

At A Level, we guide and support students to achieve the highest examination results possible.

 

We provide a centre for excellence and creative fulfilment that goes beyond the acquisition of grades.

We work hard to provide enjoyable yet challenging and stimulating schemes of work, enabling students to achieve beyond their aspirations and to open doors that may otherwise be closed.

Our students participate in regional, national and international exhibitions and competitions and many go on to further their artistic education at a wide range of highly-regarded universities and colleges, including: Chelsea, Ravensbourne, Nottingham, Central Saint Martins, The Bartlett Institute, Royal School of Needlework, Hampton Court Palace, Loughborough, Edinburgh, Manchester and Falmouth.

This course gives the appropriate foundation for further study of Art and Design or related subjects in higher education.
