Studying at The Creative & Media Studio School is unlike any other high school in the country. Our students are able to learn through a mix of academic and vocational subjects in a unique environment, where businesses and students work side by side.

Kirklees has a thriving creative and media sector, with over 1400 companies operating in the area along with many more across the borders into Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield and Calderdale.

At the Studio School, we offer our students the chance to apply what they learn in their BTEC and GCSE studies, to real briefs that are set by associated businesses and charities.

This equips the students with the required skills that a) meet the needs of employers, b) helps them achieve high academic success and c) set up and run their own successful business.
