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
