Big blow to education in Watford 😔
A technical college says it is"disappointed" after the Department for Education confirmed it will close at the end of this academic year.
It specialises in computer science, travel and tourism, and events management – with 14 to 19-year-olds studying BTEC qualifications alongside GCSEs or A-levels. “The wellbeing and success of all our students remains our highest priority. Every effort will be made to ensure students are supported to complete their studies successfully.”The Baker Dearing Educational Trust, which supports technical colleges in England, echoed the disappointment while pointing to the UTC’s ‘good’ Ofsted and past student successes.
“While the trust and the UTC had been preparing a solution which would have safeguarded the school’s future, we will now turn our efforts to ensuring students can successfully finish their learning and staff can smoothly transition to their next opportunities.”
