Your Future
Creative study through the medium of Textiles is a rewarding activity. It develops independent thinking and personal creativity which then could lead to further study or a lifetime hobby. We will accept grades A* - B at GCSE to be able to continue to study at AS level. Groups are small so there is a great emphasis on developing pupils’ individuality. Pupils who have an A level in Textile Design can then study at degree level. Careers options after completion of a Textiles degree are wide-ranging, including fashion, interior design, costume and set design, teaching, buying and merchandising.
