walsall studio school
Walsall Studio School is a specialist studio school with a bespoke curriculum
and pedagogy designed to engage, enable and extend students to catch up (where
required), step up and then reach for greatness within a 4-year transformational
journey from school student (at the start of Y10) to young creative professional
(at the end of sixth form study). Students at the end of KS5 achieve the highest
possible grades and progress to some of the best universities, conservatoires
and drama schools in the country and directly into work in both local and
flagship national employers including the BBC and IBM. Walsall Studio School is
one of the top-performing 14-19 academies in the country (headline KS5 APS
average grades and progress VA for all KS5 performance measures). Like white
water rafting enthusiasts, staff at Walsall Studio School have become adept at
navigating turbulent waters as they take students (from their individual
starting points) on an accelerated journey into their future at university and
in employment. TRANSFORMING FUTURES The work of the studio school is best
encapsulated by leaders’ commitment to social mobility; the school has an
excellent track record in enabling disadvantaged and vulnerable students to
engage with education and the community around them. As a result of the
tenacious dedication of well-qualified, experienced and highly skilled staff in
the school, students take positive strides forward; making a positive
contribution to their families, local community and wider society.
