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.
Andrew Dryden | Principal
We are delighted to be part of Northern Leaders Trust and together we are committed to providing an excellent education for the children in our communities. We want every student to achieve their academic potential and grow in confidence as future leaders.
Such a brilliant day making memories in the sunshine together!
The staff at The Sill were really complimentary about our pupils' behaviour today.
We can't wait to do it all again tomorrow with the other half of Y8.

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.
