Future Tech Studio, Warrington

http://www.warrington.ac.uk/futuretechstudio

The new school is being built by GB Group’s construction division GB Building Solutions, based in Stockport, and the design was created by Liverpool based firm K2 Architects.

Studio Schools are a new type of state school for 14 – 19 year olds, which are designed to better prepare young people for the working world. The Future Tech Studio is specialising in IT & Telecommunications, Business & Finance and Engineering. Specialisms were selected based on demand in Warrington and surrounding areas from local employers who need skilled staff to fill the skills gap in future years.

Since the early stages of planning the Future Tech Studio has been leading by example in the recruitment of students, building of the curriculum and working with local employers. The school attracted two applications for every place available for September 2014 student intake.
