What is a Studio School?

A Studio School is a new state school model for 14 to 19 year olds, of all abilities. Studio Schools seek to address the growing gap between what young people require to succeed in life and the skills and knowledge that the current education system provides. Studio Schools pioneer a bold new approach to learning involving Enterprise Projects and real work. This roots students' learning in the real world and will help them to develop the skills they need to succeed.

Why "Studio" School?

in

The name ‘Studio School’ comes from the concept of the Renaissance studio, prevalent in Europe from around 1400 to 1700, where working and learning were integrated. Students were taught by an experienced master in the same workshop in which the master created and produced his work. Artists and inventors such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo all learnt their trade and eventually taught in a studio setting.
