Operating in a different way from other schools, Studio School Liverpool focuses on equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and practical experience they need to succeed both in life and work. The school specializes in coding, creativity and entrepreneurship and delivers these through its academic, vocational and Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum which equips its students to make a positive impact on the world through digital technology. The Liverpool Studio School is school within the Northern Schools Trust.
We are looking for opportunities such as language exchanges, international projects, teacher training or any other real world learning projects.
Changemaking Initiatives Include:
- The school works closely with industry partners to give students a ‘real world’ approach to learning and has created a set of ‘Industry Ready’ KPIs that allows students to demonstrate their digital leadership
- There is a personalised approach to learning with each student having a ‘personal coach’
- Their Project Based Learning model runs through a Digital Entrepreneurship Programme focused on solving real world problems through digital technology
