The Studio School Liverpool

The Studio School Liverpool (simply referred to as The Studio) is a 14–19 mixed, studio school and sixth form in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It was established in September 2013 and is part of the Northern Schools Trust. It can be considered a sister school to Liverpool Life Sciences UTC which is run by the same trust and shares the same section of the former Contemporary Urban Centre, a restored Victorian-era warehouse in the Baltic Triangle.

History
The former Contemporary Urban Centre, more commonly known as CUC, is a grade II-listed, Victorian era warehouse on Greenland Street in Liverpool. It was built in the late 19th century, possibly as early as 1854, and was as an oil warehouse from at least 1890. It became a grade II-listed building on 19 June 1985.

The building was renovated in 2008 and used as a charity-operated "cinema, theatre and auditorium, wedding venue and a restaurant and bar" but was forced to close due to loss of funding for the site in 2011. Once the site was shut down in 2012, it was bought by Northern Schools Trust and turned into The Studio School Liverpool and Liverpool Life Sciences UTC.

Curriculum
The school specializes in technology and digital art, and has six sponsors that support its teaching. For its sixth form, pupils can choose their own courses or follow one of two recommended learning pathways that determine curriculum options. These pathways are:
