About Digitech Studio School

Digitech Studio School is a state secondary for 14- to 19-year-olds in South Gloucestershire, and while the data doesn't include a parent recommendation percentage, the school's oversubscription ratio tells its own story. With 593 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is significantly over capacity, suggesting strong local demand for its specialist digital and tech-focused curriculum. This is a school that has clearly found a niche, attracting families who want a more applied, industry-linked education for their teenagers. The headteacher is Simon Jones, and the school has no religious character. It's worth noting that 27.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average, indicating a genuinely comprehensive intake.
