Art and Design
Bishop Thomas Grant Catholic Secondary School
Course summary
The creative industry is the largest and fastest growing in the UK. It also accounts for 10% of the UK`s GDP according to government official statistics. It employs 1.6 million people and generates over 8 million pounds an hour. Most of these require further study at an art school, further education college or university. The department has many links with Higher Education institutions, including Central St Martins and all institutions included in The University of the Arts (UAL). 100% of our students who have applied to study Art at higher education level have been successful. Places have been gained at a number of prestigious places including Central St Martin’s School of Art. At present most students wishing to take art, craft or design further, will go on to do a one year Foundation course at art college or college of further education before applying to degree courses in more specialist areas of Art and Design.
