Creative Studies
Creative Studies – Subject Intent
Creative Studies is a unique and student-led subject designed to give learners space to explore, express, and develop their creativity in ways that interest and inspire them. It offers a refreshing break from traditional academic subjects and encourages students to take ownership of their learning.
In this course, students will be introduced to a wide range of craft-based skills such as sewing (including using a sewing machine), clay work, weaving, felt-making, nail art, collage, and more. Learners are encouraged to follow their own interests, plan projects, and experiment with new materials in a supportive and flexible environment.
Lesson Plans
Further Information
Creative Studies is not just about making – it’s about thinking differently, taking risks, problem-solving, and enjoying the process. For many of our students, it’s a valued part of their week where they can unwind, get hands-on, and let their imagination guide their learning.
This subject values individuality, celebrates experimentation, and helps build practical, transferable skills that support wellbeing and confidence.
