Specialising in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Computing.
Somerset Studio School is a mainstream state school where classroom based
learning and the world of work are integrated. It is designed for 14-19 year
olds of all abilities working closely with local employers. Studio Schools offer
a range of academic and vocational qualifications including GCSEs in English,
maths and science. This approach ensures students’ learning is rooted in the
real world and helps them to develop the skills they need to flourish in life.
Our students gain from a broad range of employability and life skills and have
the option to go on to university, apprenticeships, further training or
employment. Employers are a key aspect of the studio school model, its success
and the opportunities on offer to students. Students will work in smaller groups
with individual support from a ‘personal tutor-coach’ who will meet with them
one-to-one every fortnight to develop their own personalised learning plan and
tailor their curriculum to individual needs and aspirations. Personalisation of
the curriculum will be further supported through a small school environment in
which every young person will be able to access the tailored support that they
need.
