Good practice report for arts and media college courses

20 Feb 2009

A new report and DVD from Ofsted showcases the best arts and media provision in colleges, placing an emphasis on creativity and innovation to equip today’s students with the skills to succeed.

Identifying good practice: a survey of college provision in arts and media focuses on creative teaching and learning, the development of technical and craft skills, developing students as practitioners and inter-disciplinary work. The report highlights some of the best examples of college course activities in art and textiles, music, the performing arts and media.

A sample of colleges where provision in these areas was rated good or outstanding at their last Ofsted inspection were chosen for the survey, to highlight the key features enabling post-16 students to reach high standards in the arts and media.
