Make a whole A-Z or interesting letters using letters from magazines or found materials such as paper bags or leaflets, printed from the internet, and created as collages.

Give some of your letters a collaged background.

Make sure you use lots of different colours, sizes and fonts to create an overall design.

Plan out your full alphabet before gluing it down.

Make your alphabet as visually exciting as possible!


I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

David Stenning, Public Services student

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.

Heidi Adamson Brattland, A Level student

My experience at the college has been really good, it’s been really rewarding, all the lecturers were so lovely and supportive there’s no way I could have done it without them - the teaching has been outstanding.
