Home Education
Level 1 Award in Art
Explore creativity, build confidence, connect with nature - and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
We’re excited to launch a brand new creative, accredited art programme specifically for home-educated young people aged 11-18. Set in the inspiring landscape of the Bore Place estate, and led by a professional artist, students will gain a nationally recognised Level 1 Award in Art (equivalent to a GCSE grade D–G), accredited by LASER.
Why choose this course?
✔ Gain a recognised qualification outside of a school setting - ideal for families seeking accredited opportunities
✔ Small, supportive groups (max 10 students) ensure individual attention, and a relaxed learning environment
✔ Independent attendance supports confidence building and developement of social skills
✔ Professional artist-led tuition across disciplines including mosaics, painting, clay, drawing and printmaking
✔ Inspired by nature, students will use the 500-acre Bore Place estate as both subject and studio
✔ Celebrate their creativity with a public exhibition to showcase student artwork at the end of the course
