The school draws much of its ethos from its sponsor, Plymouth College of Art, and as such strives to provide a vibrant curriculum that encourages independence and creativity. Teachers encourage a hands-on approach to learning, with as much practical experience being offered to students as possible.
Plymouth School of Creative Arts seeks to treat each pupil as an individual, doing everything it can to tailor the curriculum to meet their particular needs and talents.
Ofsted report
“In line with the school’s vision, the pupils quickly learn to lead their own learning by working things out for themselves, under the guidance of the teacher. They are totally engaged in, and enjoy, the activities. This contributes to their good behaviour and growing confidence.”
