We are actively working towards achieving the Gatsby Benchmarks.
We welcome any prospective Partners/Employers that would like to work with us. We are always looking for ways to expand our links for students to have meaningful encounters with employers and employees within the creative industries.
We would also like to welcome any universities or other higher educational institutions to work with us and our students – helping to give them the best chance into higher education.
