Strengths
- “The ambitious, specialist curriculum on offer at the UTC helps prepare pupils well for the workplace.”
- “Pupils benefit from industry-standard equipment, the knowledge of staff and dedicated careers advice.”
- “Pupils are inspired by their engagements with employers.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s quality assurance processes are not as effective as they might be at identifying why these gaps have developed in the first place.”
- “Some pupils’ understanding of what they have been taught is underdeveloped, and this limits how well some pupils and students in the sixth form achieve, including in certain qualifications.”
- “More work remains to be done to ensure improvements are sustained and attendance is as high as it might be for all groups of pupils, including sixth-form students.”
