What we have to offer
With an investment nearing £1million in new facilities and retail outlets, students can gain practical experiences of running their own business, which is supported by experienced business mentors who will provide guidance and set up projects for students to engage in.
The Studio School is based upon technical innovation where every student has access to their own wireless device, which enables them to plan, research and present their work to teachers, mentors and visitors from business partnerships.
