The Studio School Liverpool (simply referred to as The Studio) is a 14–19 mixed, studio school and sixth form in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It was established in September 2013 and is part of the Northern Schools Trust. It can be considered a sister school to Liverpool Life Sciences UTC which is run by the same trust and shares the same section of the former Contemporary Urban Centre, a restored Victorian-era warehouse in the Baltic Triangle.
The former Contemporary Urban Centre, more commonly known as CUC, is a grade II-listed,[3] Victorian era warehouse on Greenland Street in Liverpool. It was built in the late 19th century, possibly as early as 1854,[4] and was as an oil warehouse from at least 1890.[5] It became a grade II-listed building on 19 June 1985.
The building was renovated in 2008 and used as a charity-operated "cinema, theatre and auditorium, wedding venue and a restaurant and bar" but was forced to close due to loss of funding for the site in 2011.[6] Once the site was shut down in 2012, it was bought by Northern Schools Trust[7] and turned into The Studio School Liverpool and Liverpool Life Sciences UTC.
The school specializes in technology and digital art,[8] and has six sponsors that support its teaching.[9] For its sixth form, pupils can choose their own courses or follow one of two recommended learning pathways that determine curriculum options.[10] These pathways are:
The school also had an additional "Analyst" pathway[11] which focused on more general subjects such as English/History/Film/Psychology/Computing/Maths, but has since removed.
