School Description

The Wigan University Technical College (UTC) opened in September 2013. In March 2015 it was taken under the umbrella of Bright Futures Educational Trust. The UTC specialism is engineering. The current executive principal took up post in August 2014. Since the UTC’s inception there have been significant changes at middle management level and in the composition of the teaching staff. Wigan UTC currently has 15 students in Year 11 and 43 in post-16 provision. The UTC has been unable to recruit for Year 10 in 2014/15. Governors have agreed that there will be no Key Stage 4 provision in the 2015/2016 academic year. A redesigned Key Stage 4 provision will be reintroduced in September 2016. The proportion of disadvantaged students eligible for support through the pupil premium is below the national average. The pupil premium is additional funding for those students who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of students from minority ethnic backgrounds is below the national average. The proportion of students who speak English as an additional language is below the national average. The proportion of students who are disabled or who have special educational needs is below the national average. The first student cohort to be entered for GCSE examinations will be the current Year 11. The UTC does not enter students for GCSE examinations earlier than the usual time. The UTC has no alternative provision.
