The Arts College is home to Visual Art and the Performing Arts: Dance, Drama and Music. The very nature of these disciplines lend themselves to a creative college and an area of the Academy where students can really express themselves.

The Arts curriculum is an exciting and stimulating selection of subject areas that are available to our students from KS3 to KS5. All levels of study are offered to cater for both the academic and vocational needs of our students. The teaching and learning environment of Art is relaxed and lead by staff that demand high standards but do this in a manner that reflects their wealth of experience and creativity: it’s a nice place to be!

We firmly believe that Arts are about performance and “showing off” our work, whether it be the Concert band, our theatrical performances and dance shows or our Arts exhibitions. What’s more we are focused on offering our students the very latest in Arts practice and widening the scope to include even more students on an ever-growing spectrum of courses.

The Arts College at TDA can surely be considered the place to be!
