Creative and Digital Secondary and 6th Form Computing School Liverpool

Welcome to the Studio, Liverpool

Our school educates young people for success in a digital world and, in particular, for employment, entrepreneurship, a new business venture or further study in the digital media sector. We’ve created an environment to inspire creativity and critical thinking, fed by the industry knowledge of our partners, which lead the sector across the region. Get a taste of life at the Studio on one of our open evenings.

WHAT WE DO

The Studio feels and works in a different way to a conventional school. We have a longer school day, that more closely resembles full-time work, and closer relationships with the creative and digital sector and the community. You’ll develop expertise and broaden your horizons by working with the innovative businesses that are part of our community.

You’ll also be given responsibility for your learning and progress, alongside the support you need to make the very best of these opportunities. At The Studio, you won’t learn how to react to a changing world; you’ll create a changing world, for the better.

The Studio empowers students to make a positive impact on our world through the innovative use of digital technology.

WHO WE ARE

We’ve established ourselves at The Studio as the school of choice for students from across Merseyside, who are creative, entrepreneurial and passionate about technology. Our exam results in art and design are the best in the city, and a visitor recently described us as a ‘tech school for good’, both of which we’re very proud of.

The Studio feels more like a workplace than a school. Students here are supported by a team of highly-qualified teachers, who have first-hand experience working as coders and developers, artists and creatives; alongside working with coaches dedicated to helping you flourish.

“Studio School is an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated. It’s more like a family than a school…”

This event was run by ARUP on behalf of the Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson.
