T-Level Digital Production, Design & Development at The Studio 2024 - 2026

Choosing to take a T-Level was, without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made for my future.

As someone who never felt at home in a traditional academic environment, the idea of sitting through two years of purely theoretical A-Levels was daunting. I’ve always been someone who learns best by doing, building, experimenting, failing, fixing, and improving. I knew I needed something that bridged the gap between education and a career.

Students at The Studio took part in innovation challenges and industry-led experiences during British Science Week 2026, collaborating with alumni and industry partners including United Utilities and Unilever.

On Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, we proudly hosted our first Scholars Celebration Evening, bringing together families, staff and students to recognise the outstanding achievements of our Scholars from both Ignite and Year 10. The event marked a significant moment for our growing Scholars Programme, celebrating the dedication, curiosity and ambition our young people demonstrate every day.

At The Studio School, we believe that learning doesn’t stop when the lesson ends. Our new enrichment sessions, running every Monday, give students from all year groups the chance to explore something completely new, develop new skills, and discover fresh passions beyond the classroom.

Meet Robert, one of our focused Year 13 students completing the T-Level in Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control. Robert recently finished an intensive six-week industry placement at Beverston, a high-tech aerospace manufacturing plant, proving the value of hands-on, real-world experience.
