The Creative Faculty is a high achieving faculty which promotes high aspirations and takes pride in working together to ensure students reach their potential. We encourage students to use their imagination and have the confidence to develop ideas to achieve high quality personalised outcomes to be proud of. The faculty aims to develop students’ enjoyment and interest in our subjects by providing a range of activities both in class, extra-curricular and further support learning via Showbie. Students experience a learning environment in which they are challenged to think, evaluate, make informed judgements and to come to conclusions about their work, developing resilience and the commitment to further improve, giving them a powerful set of life skills for the future.   

Our dedicated team of staff are kept up to date with developments in their own particular field of expertise developing teaching and learning techniques to ensure that our students are fully prepared for skills needed in life and work.
