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

🎨🐲 A #throwback to the workshop hosted earlier this summer by Rebecca Bush - Inspired HeArt, where students created some fantastical #art inspired by the soundtracks of films featuring dragons.

Heres some of the overwhelmingly positive feedback were happy to share from students who attended:

“It’s the best!”
It helps me to be the best artist
Its lots of fun
“It really helps me - It’s my dream job in animation“

Were looking forward to lots more successful workshops in the next academic year! 😊
