**Class Structure and Content**

Our classes are designed to meet each student's unique needs and are conducted in small groups to ensure personalised attention. Students are grouped into one of three categories:

1. **Portfolio Juniors Group:** Ideal for younger children with artistic potential, focusing on skill expansion and confidence-building.

2. **Portfolio Plus Group:** Tailored for more advanced students, this group expands their artistic knowledge and guides them in building their individual portfolios.

3. **Portfolio Creatives Group:** Geared towards students pursuing advanced art studies (GCSE, A-Level, and degree level), we help develop a strong portfolio foundation and nurture creativity.

**Materials**

Our comprehensive curriculum covers various art forms, including drawing, painting, printing, and mixed media. We provide all necessary materials, including graphite, pencils, watercolor pencils, pastels, acrylics, watercolors, ink, relief printing, linocut, mono-printing, screen printing, collage, digital art, and projector.

**Inclusion Policy**

We believe that art is for everyone, regardless of abilities or learning difficulties. We warmly welcome children with SEN and learning difficulties, and our classes are wheelchair accessible.

**Payment Options**

Choose from flexible payment options, including weekly direct debit, online payment for block bookings of 6 or 12 consecutive sessions, or cash payment at each class once your registration form is received and your child's place is confirmed.

We are proud to introduce our Art Awards program, featuring Discover, Explorer, and Gold awards, designed to recognise and nurture artistic skills and creativity among children aged 5 to 25. Our founder and director, Eliyah Qureshi, is a qualified Arts Award advisor specialising in SEN delivery.
