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

🎬 Students Luke and Samuel became access experts as they spent the day with Jules, founder of Brazen Productions, to work on the company’s TV Access Project.

They were tasked with reading through easy read documents that discuss disability rights in the workplace of the film and TV industries, then giving comments on how they could be improved. 

After the project, Luke said that he was “anxious about doing something new, but that nervousness slowly melted away”.

“Luke and Samuel’s suggestions were incredibly helpful and have let me make even better documents!” – Jules.

Great work team! 🎉

👏 What a work experience opportunity for student Azwa last week as she was a technician for the Tandridge Business Awards!

On the evening, her jobs were to set up the microphones and lighting and to change the slides to announce each award winner.

Azwa told us that It was really good! I enjoyed my time working there 😊
