A PERSONALISED CURRICULUM
At Stephenson Studio School our curriculum offer, our approach to teaching and the experience our learners receive is very different to traditional schools and colleges.
We believe every young person is unique.
We personalise the curriculum on offer in our school in response to the needs and aspirations of each learner. Bespoke pathways can be developed for learners by our team of coaches and partners to ensure every young person embarks upon an aspiration journey that fits them as an individual.
In all cases we are concerned with meaningful progression into employment, either directly from the school through further training, FE courses or apprenticeships.

Through lessons, work experience and tutorial time it develops the key workplace skills our learners need to become confident and self-reliant individuals. The CREATE Framework is made up of six themes:
At Stephenson Studio School we use the CREATE Skills Passport which enables learners to build up a portfolio of achievements and attainment from inside school, work experience and outside school that is linked to the CREATE Framework.
Completion of the Passport is a key goal for every student at the school.
