At Studio West we put students at the centre of everything we do. We strive each day to provide a wealth of academic and extra-curricular opportunities, so our young people grow into successful students who achieve well and socially responsible and caring citizens, who make a difference to this wonderful community.
As a studio school, our holistic curriculum, which includes links with local business partners, provides opportunities for students to develop and apply a range of skills, including teamwork, critical thinking and broader life skills. Students of all abilities can thrive in this exciting learning environment, which nurtures their aspiration and improves their life chances, with high expectations and a good quality of education.
I am very proud to be leading Studio West, where every day we work together to lead with integrity, kindness and inclusiveness.

In Food Technology, Year 7 students have been learning how to create a tasty, healthy salad based on Cous Cous.
7X3 were proudly demonstrating their knife skills to prepare vegetables for their salad pot today ♡
Mrs Bruce has been a brilliant addition to our Technology department.

It was so lovely to see our students back to school today, for the start of Autumn 2.
Our attendance was 89%.
We're hoping to see the rest of you tomorrow. Get in touch with your Year Leader if there's any further support you need.

Round Up - Week 8 ✨
A fab way to end the first term 🤩
1. We have our amazing Art & Technology Work of the Week - we love the amazing work that our students have produced recently and are proud of their continuous efforts!
2. Our October Sports Personalities of the Month were issued - shout out to all students who have participated in sports at Studio West this term with great responses and brilliant experiences!
3. Some of our Year 10's went on a trip to Northumbria University - they enjoyed participating in an interactive talk on student life and what is University, as well as a tour around the campus and seeing the amazing facilities available to students!
Have a safe half-term and we cannot wait to see you all back ready to continue all the hard work 💪🏼

Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food
At Northern Leaders Trust we value Food Education and see the interest and enjoyment that our students have in this. We are delighted to be part of Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food which promotes food, cooking and developing a range of key practical with our young people.
Jamie Oliver -
Over the past few decades, we seem to have forgotten this. My goal is that together we can raise the profile of good food and food education in schools, and prove to the government that it deserves a prominent place in their health and education policies. There are so many benefits to having food education on the curriculum. Not only does it showcase some great potential career options, it’s also an essential life skill. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to cook because without it we become dependent on others to feed us, or on convenience foods – neither of which is sustainable. It’s crucial young people have a good understanding of where food comes from, how to cook it and how it affects our bodies. And we have a great opportunity to do just that, to ensure the next generation grows up food smart.

Dear parents and carers,
Can you support in ensuring all students are to be bringing in PE kit and are changing ready for PE regardless if they are taking part / have a medical note.
We need to ensure all students are dressed appropriately for the class, including the removal of jewellery and tying long hair up. This is the expected standard even if they are supporting with kit and equipment during class. Thank you for your continued support with this.
Any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch directly.
Thank you!

Unfortunately due to having a cast he won't be getting changed for PE.
tying... Satisfactory : must try harder
We help our students to attain high standards in all areas of the curriculum and make outstanding progress in the core subjects of English, mathematics, science and computer science.
We want our students to develop confidence and enjoyment of learning and life at Studio West. We also want our students to feel supported and develop the skills to be able to learn independently.
We aim to create in our students the desire to be respectful of others, develop high aspirations, make an active contribution to their community and embrace values which galvanise their future lives as parents, carers, workers and citizens.
We hope to equip our students with the skills and abilities they need to thrive in today’s modern world.
