Estover Community College

We at Estover are proud of our students achievements and strive to offer each of them the highest quality education possible. With Specialist Arts College status, the college has one of the most impressive visual arts departments in the country, providing excellence in visual, media and performing arts, as well as an extensive community arts outreach program.

The recently refurbished Digital Media Department consists of two media suites housing PC’s and Mac’s which are capable of multi-media, video editing, animation, and Graphic Design. The department boasts a full compliment of digital stills and digital video cameras.

The Art & Design Department at Estover Community College is one of the largest in the country. We have 8 main studios that include the foundation room and ICT suite. There is also a dark room, a kiln room and a stone carving/large sculpture area. Further specialist areas for metal sculpture and etching are also available. The college resource area has a wide format printer, which reproduces images of 44ins x any length size.

The Performing Arts Department is located in a purpose built community arts facility called The Soundhouse, which boasts two high capacity performance arenas, dance and drama studios, recording studios, music practice rooms and a state-of-the-art Mac suite, for budding music producers. The Soundhouse regularly hosts student led events throughout the year, giving them many opportunities to assert their performing and technical skills before captive audiences.
