"Great Experience for My Son"

We moved to the area for my son's secondary education and chose Thomas Telford UTC based on its strong reputation for technical education. He excelled in the UTC Extra program and made some great friends with shared interests. While there were some teething issues with the new school's systems, the staff were always responsive and helpful.
