Corby Technical School has established itself as a school in which students make excellent progress and thrive in a vibrant learning environment that offers an outstanding educational experience. As a school we have a strong technical ethos that threads through each strand of the curriculum, whilst study a comprehensive range of subjects.

Corby Technical School prides itself on ensuring students are equipped with transferrable skills and knowledge that will prepare them for careers in our fast-changing world. We also consider it important to develop well-rounded students who have high aspirations, cultural capital, and a desire to make a positive difference in society.

Students and staff at Corby Technical School have a common purpose: to succeed and achieve. We believe this requires us to work collaboratively as a community, to embrace innovation, and to show perseverance when we are faced with challenges.

Built to the same standards as the other Brooke Weston Trust schools, our building on Cottingham Road is a modern learning space with a range of high-quality facilities and a bright, open feel to the architecture. We have recently developed our grounds to provide more opportunities for staff and students to exercise and relax outside during the day.

Students who join us will be a part of a close-knit school community and will thrive in an atmosphere where they feel safe, confident and are supported in all aspects of their education.
