Mission Statement
Message from
the Principal
I am delighted to write to you about the most
exciting development in secondary education in
Wolverhampton for many years. 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 go 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. It is our
highest priority to ensure that each student gains the
very best from their time here so that they are fully
prepared for the next step of their lives.
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.
The innovative and distinct curriculum that we offer
both inspires our students and prepares them for an
outstanding future. I am excited about the individual
growth of each of our students over the coming years.
Av Gill
Principal
We are proud to announce the inception of a new school from
the Thomas Telford Multi Academy Trust which welcomed the
first cohort of Year 7’s students in September 2020. This formed
the collaboration of the Outstanding Thomas Telford School
with the West Midlands UTC, judged by Ofsted to be Good with
Outstanding features. We believe that the strengths of the two
schools has united to offer our students a truly ground-breaking
opportunity.
“This is a remarkable school and a
beacon of excellence.”
“The essence of why teaching leads to such effective learning is
that so much detailed planning goes into the curriculum, so much
effort goes into regularly checking how students are doing, and
so much care and guidance is given to individuals to ensure they
achieve their best.”
Thomas Telford School - Ofsted
“Employers contribute impressively to many aspects of school life
and are extensively involved in the school as patrons, partners
and mentors.”
“The curriculum sets the school apart from more
traditional secondary schools.”
“The school’s work to develop students’ employability skills is
particularly successful. Through regular employer led group
projects students develop high-order communication skills and
learn to work as part of a team.”
