ACADEMIES
Petroc Academies are part of our commitment to help you achieve excellence through learning.
They support the work and activities of specific topic, subject and course areas and give you the opportunity to develop your skills and expand your education.
By joining an Academy you’ll be able to explore your passions, add to your CV and professional profile, and start preparing for a wide range of highly-skilled careers and university courses.
Below we’ve outlined a selection of the Academies we currently offer. We are continually expanding opportunities for learners and introducing new academies all the time so check our website for the most up-to-date information.
If you have a particular interest in an Academy, please make sure that you mention it during your interview.
To join our Aspire Programme you need to demonstrate commitment and dedication to developing your knowledge in the subject area, and a track record of high predicted grades and a good record of achievements at school.
CREATIVE ACADEMY (ART, PERFORMING ARTS, MUSIC AND MEDIA)
Creativity is central to all things. No matter where you are working or what you are doing, creativity leads to innovation - and innovation leads to a better tomorrow.
Whether you've decided to choose a creative course to study formally at college, or have had to make the tough decision to omit it from your plans, through the Creative Academy, you can continue to work on your art, acting, music and other creative disciplines outside of your formal subject choices. If you’re already an expert, you will have a chance to further develop your skills; if you want to try something new then this is also the right place to be.
You’ll have access to our bespoke performance spaces, Mac suites and art studios to add creative flavour to your time at college. The Creative Academy is open to all students at Petroc.
HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES ACADEMY
An exciting opportunity for students exploring subjects including English, history, philosophy, law, politics, psychology and sociology; this Academy will broaden your horizons and challenge how you see the world.
You’ll examine and debate the questions of our time, develop skills of argument building and critical analysis, and will be encouraged to look closely into new ideas relevant to your field of study.
There are also opportunities to enter academic competitions such as the Tower Poetry Prize and the Appledore Book Festival short story competition.
