Curriculum
After School Clubs
No time at school would be complete without them - from debating to art, our After School Clubs offer a chance to have fun, meet like-minded peers, and develop new skills.
There's something at MVA for everyone.

Focus on Art Club
Each week on Monday at 3pm, our community of creative learners come together with their art teacher, Caroline, to explore new techniques, styles, and mediums, and work together to create artwork for MVA's regular end of term show.
Meet Caroline, Art Teacher
Caroline on the benefits of Art Club
"MVA's weekly Art Club explores a variety of themes, genres and styles in Art and Design, alongside advice on materials and techniques. Each programme lasts for one term and the topics are carefully chosen to inspire students to make their own sketches and finished pieces in a relaxed, informal atmosphere, and to encourage their own research.
Class participation through discussion and sharing of work is actively encouraged. Topics covered to date have included: The Portrait, Birds in Art, Science Fiction Art, Surrealism, Manga and Anime and The Circus – with some fantastic results!
Whether a student is a determined enthusiast eager to build a portfolio, or someone who just wants to learn a bit more about Art and Design and have a go at making their own, Art Club provides all who take part with a calm, creative yet stimulating hour each week."
