Safeguarding

“Carshalton College was recommended to me by a friend who studied Creative Media here.  I had previously studied Animal Mgt. but my real passion was Art.  I applied and was invited in to come in and see the College and meet the tutors. 

I had a good feeling about the course and tutors who were friendly and approachable and made me feel comfortable.  I have really enjoyed these past two years.  The techniques I have learnt such as printing and textiles have been enlightening. 

The thing I have enjoyed the most is the being given the freedom to choose the topics and subject matter that particularly interests me which I feel has really developed my skills as an artist. The teaching and support I have been given has been really helpful and made college life much easier to adapt to.

We are currently doing work experience at a local primary school teaching Year 5s.  Teaching is something I have always been interested in and I am hoping to pursue this as a career.

I have applied and been offered places in three London Universities, my first choice being the Courtauld Institute of Art.  I plan to study a BA.(hons) Art History and Fine Art.”
