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

🍭 Our student Marketing group recently had the opportunity to visit Agency jellybean, who specialise in food and drink #marketing.

The group participated in interactive activities where they explored #branding and design to develop their understanding of how marketing works. The session was a fantastic insight into the professional world of advertising and marketing.

Thank you to jellybean for this experience (and the brilliant #Orpheus branded jellybeans!) 🙏
