Background
History
The college opened in September 2014, An Ofsted inspection in January 2017 rated the UTC as 'inadequate' in almost every area. At that time the college was being led by the deputy principal, and had an enrolment of 153. Later that year Joanne Harper, principal of UTC Reading, was appointed executive principal and the UTC came under the sponsorship of Activate Learning Education Trust. Leadership and management were rated 'good' but the quality of education was judged not yet good enough.
