Elite Studio - where creativity, education, and wellbeing come together
“It only takes one person to give someone a chance at life”
“It only takes one person to give someone a chance at life”
Empowerment, Inclusion, Individuality.

We started The Elite studio with a simple goal in mind:
creating meaningful opportunities that guide our students toward paid professions, ensuring they are equipped with both the confidence and skills needed for lasting success.

The Elite Studio is where community meets empowerment. We're proud to collaborate with Pathfinder, YoT, Social Services, Norfolk County Council, UET,
West Suffolk College, and more.
Together, we're boosting student success and adding a creative flair with Bubbly Hub. Join us in shaping a brighter future, one student at a time.

Features include 11 fully functioning rooms designed to meet diverse needs, such as a professional salon, vintage-style shop, snack shop, kitchen, Massage room, Japanese head spa, Zen Den, and SEND Den. Each space offers unique opportunities for support and growth.

At Elite Studio (EA) Ltd, we are far more than a hair and beauty salon — we are a nurturing space dedicated to personal growth, education, and wellbeing. As an Alternative Provision, we deliver tailored educational programmes designed around each student’s individual interests, with a strong focus on mental health, emotional wellbeing, and counselling support. For some, we also provide a safe and supportive refuge where they can rebuild confidence and find a sense of belonging.
Our unique environment blends practical, hands-on experience with academic learning, guided by our team of multi-skilled professionals. Students have the opportunity to gain real-world experience in a working salon while developing essential life and vocational skills. We also offer flexible online courses, ensuring accessibility and continued learning beyond the classroom.
Every student at Elite Studio (EA) Ltd follows a personalised learning plan, with goals tailored to their interests, strengths, and areas for development. Through this holistic approach, we empower our learners to grow in confidence, achieve their potential, and take the next step toward further education or employment — all within a community where they truly belong.
