the studio

The Studio is one of the most innovative schools in the UK. We educate young people aged 14-19 for success in a digital world. Our students are creators, rather than consumers, of technology. This empowers them to generate opportunities for themselves within this growing sector. They’re also the future digital leaders who will use their expertise to improve the lives of others through the application of digital technology. Some students will use their skills in the gaming, animation, digital marketing and computer technology sectors; others will work for businesses and organisations that use digital to develop products and services.

cerne giant festival

The Giant stands watch over acres of undulating hills and fertile , water-fed, green valleys. No one knows how old he is. He has defied archaeology, and in the end it comes down to which sorts of evidence one places one’s faith in … although the consensus is that he was put there as some sort of message. Those who place their faith in the written word point out that the first (surviving) written evidence of the Giant is in the Churchwardens’ accounts of 1694 (“for repairing ye Giant, 3 shillings”). They favour the theory that he was created as a political lampoon of Cromwell by Denzel Holles, who owned the land at the time. Others note the Giant’s similarity to Hercules and imagine Roman soldiers creating him as a statement, perhaps in a similar way to how regimental badges were created on Salisbury Plain during WW1. If you talk to those who’ve lived here for generations – who remember running around his outline as a child or playing a sort of hopscotch between the parts of his tackle, he is prehistoric. More recently Peter Knight has examined archaeoastronomical alignments and came to the conclusion he is Iron Age, created not long before the Roman invasion.
