ENTRY REQUIREMENT GCSE Textiles or Art Grade 6


This course allows students to extend and develop their skills in a wide range of media. Students are encouraged to pursue their own particular interests, be that constructed or surface design textiles. The students are able to explore and refine ideas taking into account their own emerging personal style. Recording information, through drawing or related means, forms the basis of these studies. The course fosters independent learning and research skills in students, whilst providing them with a solid grounding in practical techniques. Critical and contextual studies are fundamental. Sixth Form Textiles students benefit from having their own personal studio space in which they can work at any time throughout the day.
