What courses are available

Szymon Lewandowski
Studied – Level 3/4 Foundation Studies in Art and Design
Currently – Studying Fine Art painting in London at UAL Camberwell
“I chose to study the Foundation course, as it was the next step forward in my creative journey. I knew that it would teach me beneficial skills which I can apply in my creative process and prepare me well for university.
“Without the Foundation course and the amazing support from the tutors there, I wouldn’t be where I am now. All the knowledge and teachings from this course gave me an edge during my time in my first year of university and prepared me well for it with considerate and supportive advice for the future.
“All the abilities I gained from this course are not only used in my creative practice, but can also be applied in different areas of life which is extremely advantageous.
“If you are considering studying Art I highly recommend the Foundation course. The bonds you build with your classmates, the experiences you gain and the memories you make, will last you for a lifetime!”

Frankie McCamley
Studied – A Level English, Drama, Maths and French
Currently – Presenter and News Correspondent for the BBC
“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham!
“I look back on my time at Yale with pride and fondness and will never forget it!”
