From the Digitech Studio School
A specialised curriculum is provided by Digitech to prepare students for entry into the high tech and creative digital industries. For students who join us in years 10 and 12, we provide specialised qualifications. We place a premium on students having excellent employability experiences. This include doing work for employers and gaining experience. Only 90 students are admitted into each year group since studio schools are intentionally small. This enables us to tailor our services to each student's unique needs. Digitech began operations in 2015, and in November 2016, we moved into a stunning, newly constructed facility. Our school is in a great location with access to Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and Bath business prospects. We collaborate closely with other primary and secondary academies within the Federation because we are a part of the Cabot Learning Federation, which is dedicated to "Embedding Excellence," and because of our strong emphasis on teamwork. We all take our responsibility for educating more than 10,300 kids and teenagers between the ages of 3 and 19 very seriously as we work to give every student an excellent education. We hope you will understand our aim if this is your first time visiting the website. A creative and inventive location to work and learn is Digitech. To schedule a visit if you'd like to see us in action, email [email protected].
