U6 MOCKWEEK
WC: 10th NOV
A+D
The A+D Home Hub is a dedicated parental hub for families of students studying within the Holy Cross Art and Design Department. It has been created to help parents/ guardians stay informed and engaged with their child’s A level journey. The hub provides easy access to important updates, including key curriculum content, upcoming deadlines, and essential information about trips and events. By offering a central space for communication and resources, the A+D Home Hub ensures parents / guardians remain connected and well-supported throughout their child’s studies, fostering stronger collaboration between home and college in nurturing creative growth and academic success.
​
'We believe that art is not only life-affirming and transformative but also teachable, learnable, and intellectually rich. This philosophy underpins everything we do, inspiring students to see the world through fresh, exciting perspectives and to embrace creativity as a powerful force for change'.
