Space Studio West London

All our Year 12 students have the opportunity to mentor a Y10 student over the course of the academic year. We have found this an excellent opportunity for our Sixth Form students to develop their interpersonal, communication, and organisation skills whilst consolidating their learning in the A’ Level or BTEC subjects they are studying. As Einstein is quoted: “If you can’t explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough”.

We arrange many more trips than most schools, averaging more than two trips per week for the majority of the academic year. In the first term of this school year, our students attended trips to the Houses of Parliament, Sky, and the Royal Aeronautical Society amongst others.

One of the main focal points of the style of education we deliver is the cross-curricular projects our Year 12 students complete throughout the year. Each term, there will be a separate ten week project designed to stretch our students’ knowledge and, drawing from the Aspirations Academies Trust’s “Employability and Future Skills”, develop the soft skills modern employers look for in their workforce.
