The event was open to everyone who has applied to join Bicester Technology Studio, which opens on Queens Avenue in September.

During the event on Monday, students created artwork which will be displayed in the new school building and made a promotional film.

Principal Richard Brown said: “Momentum is really building as we get ready to open in September. This event was a great opportunity to bring together those who have already applied, to help them get to know each other by working on practical activities and challenges.”

He added the school was delighted at the response it had received so far.
