The Northern School of Art is a further and higher education art and design college, based in Middlesbrough and Hartlepool in the north-east of England. The college was called Cleveland College of Art and Design after the former non-metropolitan county of Cleveland, operational from 1974 to 1996. In April 2018 it was announced that the college would change its name to The Northern School of Art effective from September 2018.

The college's current principal is Martin Raby.

History and estates

Middlesbrough School of Art, on Durham Street, and the nearby Government School of Arts in the Athenaeum on Church Street, West Hartlepool first opened in 1870 and 1874 respectively.[1]

In May 1960, the Green Lane campus based in the Linthorpe area of Middlesbrough was opened by Robin Darwin, then-Principal of the Royal College of Art, and was later extended as Middlesbrough School of Art.[2] The campus closed its doors and re-located to the centre of Middlesbrough in September 2021.[3]

The Northern School of Art is the only specialist art and design college in the north-east of England and one of only three in the country in the further education sector.[4]

Campuses and buildings

The school of art currently has three campuses, one in Middlesbrough, one in Church Square, Hartlepool and a second Hartlepool Campus located on Church Street.

Middlesbrough

The new £14 million Middlesbrough-based campus opened in September 2021 and is a purpose-built, three-storey building located in the town centre on Newport Road.[5] It is adjacent to a Sainsbury's supermarket and within a short walking distance of both the bus and railway stations.[6][7] The Middlesbrough campus offers Access to HE, A-levels and UAL Diploma qualifications through a range of creative art & design courses.[8]

Hartlepool

Church Square

The college has operated continuously in its present Hartlepool spot since 1938, despite a 1966 fire. It is located off Church Street (A178) at the junction of the A689 (Stockton Street) and A178, and near the railway station.[9]

Church Street Campus

Opening in 2017, the Church street campus was the first phase of the School's £11 million development in Hartlepool. The new campus is now host to courses such as Commercial Photography, Production Design for Stage and Screen, Film and Theatre Production, Costume design and more.

With the development of the new building came the procurement of nearby bus sheds. The 32,000-square-foot (3,000 m2) sheds will become purpose-built dedicated film and TV sound studios with the aim to boost film and TV production in the north-east and create a major industry hub.[10]

Courses

The Northern School of Art is an institution of both further and higher education, and because of this it has courses aimed at 16-year-old school-leavers all the way through to postgraduate degree level, as well as Saturday club art & design classes.

FE courses

The college offers a range of A-Level and University of the Arts London Extended Diplomas across the whole art and design spectrum, including Art & Design, Graphic Design, Fine Art, Fashion, Textiles, Costume Design, Photography, 3D design and Illustration & Animation. The college also offers two UAL Level 2 courses and Bronze and Silver Awards.

The School now also offers Acting for Stage and Screen and Film & TV Production as a part of the development of The School's screen industries offer.

The Northern School of Art also offers a Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art & Design, a course traditionally undertaken by A-level students prior to enrolling on an art and design course at university.

HE courses

At higher education level, The School also offers BA (Hons) and FdA degrees, covering such subjects as textiles, Commercial Photography, Creative Photography, Fine Art, Illustration, Creative film and moving image, Costume Design, Graphic Design, theatre design, Acting, Lighting for stage and screen, vfx, 3D Design and Body Contour Fashion.
