Stockton Riverside College has been created with your success in mind. Come and see for yourself at our dedicated open events or give us a call to book a tour. Things to look out for…
APTA
Here at Stockton Riverside College, we’ve always had a hugely successful Performing and Creative Arts department and last year, we launched a new Academy of Performing and Technical Arts (APTA). In the UK, the creative industries are worth more than £130 billion to the UK economy and covers 9.6% of UK jobs. Closer to home, the arts are a pretty big deal too. In the Tees Valley alone, it’s predicted that there will be 14,000 creative jobs by 2024 and whilst things were put on hold due to COVID-19, make no mistake, this area will bounce back with a vengeance. Recently, the Government has pledged £1.5 billion to protect the UK creative sector – we really are a world-class super power when it comes to the arts. APTA was launched to ensure that talented young people like you are well equipped to be part of this vibrant sector whether it’s in fashion, graphic design, TV and film or games design. An APTA course will provide you with the best possible start to your creative career and enable you to go out and be at the cutting edge of this sector.
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTRE
Our Learning Resource Centre (LRC) at Stockton Riverside College provides access to books, journals, computers and other learning resources. The LRC strives to be innovative and inclusive in meeting the needs and demands of all our learners. We provide a high quality service based on an extensive range of learning materials to support you in your studies in an environment that is safe, welcoming, stimulating and engaging.
UFILMS
Did you know that our creative students run their own filming and production company? UFilms started a couple of years back and every year, the baton gets handed down to the next lot of students meaning you’ll get to work for an established production company on both internal and external projects. To watch some of UFilms fantastic work, visit their YouTube channel www.youtube.com/channel/UCw-Ly11oIkcyp7QG6g7SmA or go to page 76.
CED CENTRE
Students studying a trade such as joinery, bricklaying, electrical or painting and decorating will enjoy hands-on learning in our CED centre. With subject specific workshops and real industry kit you will develop the skills of your trade.
MOTOR VEHICLE WORKSHOP
Also situated in our CED Centre is our motor vehicle workshop. If you want to work as a motor vehicle mechanic, in a garage or industry workshop, this is the place for you. Our students get to learn their trade working with some of the latest kit in vehicle technology.
