Capture, in collage form (either digital or physical), your favourite video games and systems/consoles to play them on.

Piskel is a free online editor for animated sprites and pixel art. You can create animations in your browser, rework existing example sprites and create your own new sprites. Experiment with this to see if you can create five new characters for a fictional 2D game called ‘The Battle’.

Write 250 words to explain your characters and your design choices.

I would say it’s a college that really balances academia with fun, there is lots of extra-curricular stuff that you can get involved in. It has a really good work/life balance.

Laura Hagedorn, A Level student

There are lots of people at the college, each studying a diverse range of courses, people from all different areas come to study here, it creates a sense of community, there is a huge social aspect to college life across all courses.

Lee Backhouse, BTEC student

The teaching and support was absolutely brilliant, they couldn’t have done anything more or anything better, if I had any questions my lecturers would always stay behind to help me if I needed it and their emails were always open, it was second to none. This college is the best by far.
