Why choose Studio 6?We will do our best to ensure that you will leave the Academy with a rich and varied CV that will help you follow your chosen path.
To help with this, we have listened long and hard to what employers want, and have placed their feedback at the centre of our thinking.
They have told us that while qualifications are a really important element of what they look for in young people, it is by no means the only factor they take into account.
For young people to compete today they also need to be able to show that they have developed a range of skills such as being innovative, being able to work as part of a team and have determination.
In line with this we have chosen to have a Business and Enterprise specialism. This means that students in Studio 6, regardless of what they are studying, will spend two hours a week learning about enterprise and employability, from which they will achieve a work skills qualification.
During this time there will be a variety of enterprise activities taking place that will challenge and stretch students.
Studio 6 students will have access to employers for real life experiences, and more than 200 local employers have committed support to the Academy.
Students will also have access to the Enterprise Hub to study and run their own enterprise projects.
