THINK LIKE A CREATIVE

Located in Plymouth’s historic Coastal Quarter, we are proud to be a centre of excellence for the city, combining academic learning with creative innovation. Our broad and balanced curriculum champions classroom‑based learning across a wide variety of subjects, while encouraging students to be bold, imaginative and to think like creators. We believe that strong academic foundations, paired with the ability to approach challenges creatively, prepare our young people to thrive in further education and future careers.

Our unique position in the heart of Plymouth places us at the centre of a thriving, buzzing community, surrounded by industry, culture and opportunity. This setting gives our students direct access to real‑world experiences that enrich their learning and inspire ambition. We are committed to removing barriers to success, ensuring that no young person is held back in their journey to become the next generation of innovators, scientists, environmentalists and leaders.

Looking ahead, our goal is to equip every student with the skills, confidence, and resilience to leave us as aspirational, stand‑up members of the community. We push students to achieve their goals, reach higher levels of education and pursue meaningful careers. With a broad variety of subjects on offer, we are especially proud to protect and champion our creative disciplines, recognising their vital role in shaping well‑rounded, future‑ready individuals.
