The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust through this website, is proud to introduce the work of Parkside Studio College; a brand new specialist provider catering exclusively for 14 to 19 year olds.

Building on the inclusive and enterprising ethos which has brought outstanding success to the students of Rosedale and Hewens College, Parkside will offer young people even greater choice by providing something different, something new and something that is quite unique.

At Parkside Studio College, we have developed a new approach to education; one which combines high quality classroom learning with practical work related activities both in and beyond the College. Students who attend Parkside will not only continue to gain qualifications in traditional core subjects, but also become experts in their chosen pathway. These specialist courses will be delivered through the use of industry standard, state-of-the-art equipment in our newly refurbished buildings. Considerable investment has been made to ensure that young people can develop the skills, experiences and qualifications necessary to succeed in an increasingly competitive employment market.

Although Studio Schools are a new concept, the focus is one which industry has been demanding for some time. Businesses want young people to be work ready and therefore Parkside will be at the forefront of delivering this innovation. Our Learning Coaches will be on hand to ensure the highest possible standard of education is delivered consistently through the six specialist pathways, each supported by a Personal Coach who is an expert in the field. A team of highly experienced teaching staff will deliver the core curriculum.

Parkside Studio College is working in partnership with a number of multinational organisations and businesses to deliver this programme. These include The Intercontinental Hotel Group, the world's largest hotel proprietor, Clearview Homes, and also Sky, of global broadcasting fame. Each will be supporting, shaping and developing different elements of the programme together with other small and medium sized businesses, supporters and stakeholders. This partnership will deliver the very best education for young people.

All students at Parkside Studio College will be treated as young adults, taking their first steps into the workplace. This will be a daunting, yet exciting time for the students; immensely rewarding and fulfilling, giving them each a sense of purpose and direction.

We relish the opportunity to welcome you to our new facilities. Why not arrange a visit so you can see for yourself what we have to offer. We look forward to meeting you soon.
