Students from The Studio were given the opportunity to meet representatives from the Embassy of the United States of America during a recent visit to Merseyside.
Economic counsellor, Kelly Adams-Smith and colleagues from the Embassy met students for a frank question and answer session to explore students’ opinions of the U.S. after being hand-picked from thousands of schools and academies across England to celebrate British-American relations.
It was great to listen to the thoughts and opinions of the sixth form students. We were very impressed by the topics of discussion and very much look forward to continuing work with the school moving forward.

The event was part of a two-day visit to Liverpool for the Embassy of the United States that included meetings with key-figures from the University of Liverpool, representatives from the city’s museums and Everton Football Club.
The team, comprising of Adams-Smith; Roose-Lloyd; and Paul O’Hagan, Economic Analyst; will continue to visit Liverpool as part of the Embassy’s outreach program.
It was a delight to welcome representatives from the Embassy of the United States to the school, and a privilege for The Studio school to be selected from thousands of schools from across England as a site for their visit.
We actively encourage our students to be self-aware and proactive, enabling them to explore positive mind-sets that are essential for the industries of tomorrow.
The inter-personal skills our students exhibited in this Q&A session with the Embassy of the United States showcase them as mature young adults who are excited by a digital, entrepreneurial future.
