Ercall Wood Technology College is a smaller than average-sized secondary college. The college has an above-average intake of pupils of minority ethnic heritage and who speak English as an additional language. The percentage of pupils who are supported through the pupil premium (which provides additional funding for pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is above average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average. The college uses Nova Training, the Education Development Service Ltd. and the AFC Telford Study Centre as alternative provision for three pupils who attend their placements for one day per week. The college meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress by the end of Year 11.
