What the college says

Our KS5 students follow an ‘A’ Level in Art and Design which builds on skills and develops in more depth and breadth that sense of Personal Style. They have an opportunity to experiment with a wide range of media, visit galleries and exhibitions, work alongside local FE and HE colleges to explore the latest technologies and processes and to really develop their self-knowledge and their visual knowledge. We ensure that students work with staff with specialist subject knowledge and skills and we tailor the course to make certain that students can develop their strengths, interests and passions and can really begin to develop their personal style. Many of our ‘A’ Level students have gone on to have very successful careers in the Art World and Design Industries as a result of their initial Art education at TCC and we are very proud of their successes. We are very lucky to have our own gallery space, Kensa Gallery, which is a dedicated space that allows us to exhibit a wide range of work – from Primary schools, a Staff Exhibition through to GCSE and ‘A’ Level exhibitions. We have also worked with the Faculty to take students to London, to local exhibitions and have utilised the local environment – such as Antony House – to inspire our students’ creativity.
