Northern School Of Art's New Campus Officially Opens
The Northern School of Art's new £14.5 million campus in Middlesborough has officially opened.
The new campus, located in central Middlesbrough, opened its doors in September to nearly 800 students studying a range of specialist creative courses - from Saturday Club (6 to 14 years), Arts Award (14 to 16 years), A-levels, Diplomas, Access to HE and Foundation - with a further campus at Hartlepool providing degree and postgraduate qualifications.
Andy Haldane, Chief Executive at The Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA), said: "Culture and the arts benefit everyone. Not only are they a key source of health and happiness in our societies, but they also bring jobs and skills and help create strong and inclusive economies.
"Encouraging young people’s creativity and empowering them to take their skills to the next level is at the heart of the RSA's new Design for Life mission. It is a true privilege to open The Northern School of Art's new campus here in Middlesbrough and welcome the first of many students, from early years to post-graduate level, to this fantastic facility."
Dr Martin Raby, Principal of The Northern School of Art, said: "It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Andy Haldane, Chief Executive of the RSA, to our new campus in the heart of Middlesbrough.
"The RSA is a social change organisation, which believes everyone should be welcomed to participate in creating a better future. This aligns perfectly with the objectives of The Northern School of Art.
"As a provider of specialist creative education and training for over 150 years, we have had the privilege of nurturing talented individuals from across the Tees Valley in learning the industry skills, confidence and knowledge they need to take their first steps into a range of exciting careers.
"In marking this new chapter, we remain as committed as ever to the value of creativity in our society and ensuring our new campus in the heart of Middlesbrough provides a landmark building for creativity in the Tees Valley - providing even greater access and opportunities for all."
The School’s Middlesbrough campus was recently awarded 'Outstanding' for its education offer (Ofsted, 2022).
