Head of College Welcome

WELCOME TO THE CREATIVE & MEDIA STUDIO SCHOOL

I am delighted that you have taken the time to show interest in our college. As one of the region’s only specialised creative colleges, we are dedicated to cultivating creative confidence, refining creative thinking, and empowering students to become independent and innovative learners.

Our objective is to give every student the best possible chance of success — whether that means progressing to higher education, skilled employment, apprenticeships, or other positive destinations that align with their aspirations, abilities, and potential.

To achieve this, we provide an integrated pathway that blends academic excellence, expert career guidance, personalised pastoral care, and real-world readiness through our PSHE programme.

At the Creative & Media Studio School, we recognise that true creativity flourishes when supported by structure. Through our Attitude to Learning framework, we provide the foundation that allows students to express themselves with freedom and purpose. We believe that when students attend consistently, behave professionally, and commit fully to their studies, they embody the values that lead to achievement — from resilience and curiosity to collaboration and self-motivation.

By nurturing these qualities each day, our young people develop not only the skills for college, but the skills for life.

We hope you find the place that inspires and supports your ambitions — and we hope that place is with us.

Warm regards

James Armitage
