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.

The principles of project-based learning and the CREATE framework are integral elements of being a Studio School!
For the last three weeks of each half-term, KS3 students are tasked with completing projects across various subjects. They have been given booklets that set out the different subjects for each week. They should try to complete all initial tasks and then complete the optional 'above and beyond' tasks.
Our first subjects for next week are set out in the post below. Remember, we are here to support and guide you every step of the way. We can't wait to see the fantastic work that our students are capable of 🤩

October is a month of courage, strength, and unity. We are honouring the powerful legacy of the Black community and supporting those who have faced or are still battling breast cancer.
We celebrate Black History by recognising the resilience and contributions that have shaped our world. We raise awareness for breast cancer by holding close the stories of strength, hope, and healing.
Let’s come together to celebrate, support, and stand by one another — because every story and every voice matters. 💪🏾💖

🚀 What an incredible Friday morning our Year 10 boys had! An unforgettable experience working with a local artist to transform the underpass with their amazing spray painting skills 🎨
They even met the press and local councillor Adam Mitchell - they were famous for five minutes, and it was worth it!
Big shoutout to Levi, James, Finley, Stephen, Ryan, and Jenson - you achieved so much, creating stunning artwork, making their voices heard, and being invited back to the grand opening!

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.
