About Walsall Studio School

Welcome from Krissi Carter | Headteacher

Traditional schools don’t work for everyone, that’s why we built something different. Where others teach theory, we give you networks and experience, so that you are ahead of the game professionally.

Welcome to Walsall Studio School, where young people like you start building your creative careers in Media, Performing Arts and Music from day one.

Our school is deliberately small and specialist. With just 60 places in Year 10 and 11 and 90 in Sixth Form, every student is known, supported and challenged to succeed.

Our aim is simple: to provide a curriculum that gets you hired. We work with industry experts to design learning that is real, relevant and future-focussed. Students don’t just sit in classrooms – they collaborate, create, problem-solve and present like professionals.

Students achieved a phenomenal average grade of Distinction+ in 2025, but we know that life is more than just qualifications. We prepare you for responsibility, leadership and resilience - skills that you will need for life.

Every student receives a FREE comfortable yet professional uniform, access to industry-standard studios and opportunities to work on live briefs and employer-designed projects. We are not your typical school, we are your springboard into industry.

Everything we do is shaped by our MAGIC values - Motivation, Aspiration, Grit, Independence and Collaboration. We are a place where you can be yourself, push boundaries and become unmissable.

OUR VISION
Inspiring the next generation of performing artists, musicians and media specialists to unleash their potential and redefine creative industries.
 
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to inspire young creatives through an innovative 4-year curriculum that integrates professional expertise, industry opportunities, and state of the art facilities. In our small school community, we foster personal growth, excellent achievement and lifelong success.
 
OUR ETHOS
Our school is a small, inclusive community that celebrates and nurtures diverse and creative individuals. We believe that all members of our community must feel welcomed, safe and valued so that they can reach their full potential.
 
OUR VALUES 

There is MAGIC in everything we do...

  • MOTIVATION
  • ASPIRATION

  • INDEPENDENCE
