Our College

We use the arts as a tool to enable students to grow their personal development, cognitive and communication skills, and to achieve an overall sense of self-worth, pride, and confidence. All students choose a major subject to focus on when they join, and this currently includes drama, dance, music, creative arts, or film and media. To find out more whilst we are working on our website, you can download the prospectus below or you can email: enquiries@orpheus.org.uk

Our first club of the week is the Monday Multi-faith lunch club, where we work with Philippa Berry and various guests to educate people at #Orpheus on a range of religions and beliefs.

It was a pleasure to welcome Alan from The Church of England who focused this week on the harvest season and how different cultures celebrate around the world 🌾

The students were fully engaged with Alan’s presentation and stories and also created some very colourful harvest-themed work during the session!
