Learning Environment

There are ten (10) staff working within the Fashion Section. All teachers have qualifications in Teaching and Learning and are master couturier and technical experts in their field.

Class sizes are small with no more than 15 students per group. Each student works with a member of staff to develop their own training plan so that they can achieve their career and individual goals. Strong links with Industry and local small businesses give us an insight into current trends in the Fashion Industry and allows us to place students into suitable positions for industry experience.

Classes focus on practical activities and are conducted in state-of-the-art workshops. Students often receive individual tuition when using specialised machinery or processes.
