We celebrated the inaugural Thomas Telford UTC World Book Day. Our Whole School Reading priority, ‘promoting reading for pleasure’, felt alive and palpable across the school; a day to remember for staff and students alike.

The UTC, alongside other schools, were invited to the Thomas Telford School Dance Festival. This was an amazing opportunity for students from different schools to showcase their talents in a supportive environment rather than a competition.
