The future is looking bright with a new school from the Thomas Telford Multi Academy Trust. Following a new collaboration with Thomas Telford School, we opened our doors to our first cohort of Year 7 students in September 2020. Students have excelled at the UTC and we believe the strength of both schools unites us to offer students a truly ground-breaking opportunity and has resulted in the UTC achieving some of the best examination outcomes in the city.
Equally, Ofsted has praised Thomas Telford UTC noting that: “An overwhelming sense of community and mutual respect greets you as you arrive at this school. Relationships between pupils and staff are supportive, caring and focused on pupils achieving their potential. “The school prioritises pupils’ personal development exceptionally well. They receive an extensive range of employment, cultural and leadership experiences. This includes mentoring and employment placements across all year groups. In addition, many pupils regularly take part in a range of clubs, such as myth mania and film club. These opportunities enhance their wider experiences effectively.”
Thomas Telford UTC prides itself on offering a:
- Broad and balanced curriculum
- Placing a strong emphasis on STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Maths)
- Superb learning environment with state-of-the-art facilities
- Excellent enrichment opportunities
- First-class employer engagement
- Unrivalled academic and technical education
- Extensive support from the University of Wolverhampton and The Thomas Telford Multi Academy Trust
The Principal Av Gill said: “I am honoured to be entrusted with leading Thomas Telford UTC on a journey that I am confident will see this flagship establishment become the gold standard for secondary education in Wolverhampton. “I want every child that comes to Thomas Telford UTC to be part of the fabric of the school, and to come home every day fulfilled and happy that they have made progress in their learning and development. “In collaboration with our sponsors and industry-leading employer partners, we are able to offer unrivalled opportunities for 11-18 year-olds in the region that will allow them to go beyond their expectations. “Our partners at Thomas Telford School and the University of Wolverhampton believe that all students deserve the chance to flourish in an exceptional environment that offers access to cutting-edge technology and unique, hands-on experiences. “Together, we will provide our students with the perfect combination of academic and technical excellence in preparation for the world of work and the fantastic opportunities that await them.”
