Please see the transition work to be completed in the summer between GCSE and the beginning of Year 12.
The OCR Textiles course provides students with exciting opportunities to explore their innovation skills, developing new and future forward fashion or interior products. The subject is practical, which enables students to learn through using and developing design and manufacturing skills.
The course is predominantly aimed at students who have previously studied Product Design or Textiles at GCSE, however, we welcome students who have an Art background.
Year one is divided into two sections, consisting of the Textiles Product Study, where students design and create an imaginative Textiles portfolio. They also complete an Innovation Challenge, a design and modelling task, which give opportunity to showcase creativity and problem solving techniques.
Year two involves completing an extensive creative design portfolio, followed by a theory examination demonstrating subject knowledge.
Year 13 student
My goal is to become a fashion designer and I'm currently studying Art, Textiles and Psychology before hopefully studying Fashion Design at Bournemouth Arts University. I've been at Coombe since Year 7 and I have a real bond with my subject teachers. My textiles teacher is a real inspiration and always goes out of her way to help me and has taught me all the skills I'll need to further my knowledge.
