A St Albans school has been selected as a partner for a creative hub set up by University of the Arts in London.

The hub will be based at Sandringham School and will provide art and design courses for pupils aged seven to 17, both after school and on Saturdays.

Sandringham's hub is one of the first three creative hubs to be launched in the UK, as part of the university's new 'Future Creatives' venture.

Liz Kelly, director of learning in the school's visual art department, said: "It is a tremendous opportunity to work in partnership with such a renowned university for the arts.

"We have loved working with UAL so far and we are delighted that they have chosen us as a base to deliver their inspiring courses which focus on building confidence in young artists."
