Liverpool’s newest school opens its doors

Studio@Deyes, Liverpool’s newest school will be opening its doors to 150 business and technology students in September 2015.

The brand new studio school for ages 14-19, based on Wavertree Technology Park, will offer unique specialisms, including engineering, textiles, accountancy, entrepreneurship and law.

Headteacher, Dean Lythgoe, said: “Studio@Deyes will be a much needed asset to the 14-19 provision in the Liverpool City Region.

“We are creating a learning community that will focus on strong qualifications, work ready skills and meaningful work experience that will ensure all of our students are well equipped for their future steps.

“The small school of only 300 students at capacity is partnering with notable regional and national businesses, such as Merseytravel and Barclays, to create a curriculum and enrichment program that addresses the individual academic, social and emotional progress of every student.

“This forward-thinking school focuses on project based learning which incorporates live projects from employers into the daily learning of the students. This ensures that the youngsters immediately learn to apply their knowledge and utilise their skills in a practical way.”

Within the newly refurbished state-of-the-art facilities the school community will have access to all the latest technology.

The modern, hi-tech building will host student-run businesses, art and design studios and engineering workshops.
