Notable
- Unusually for a UTC, admits pupils from Year 7 (age 11) as well as the standard UTC entry points, with joining points at Year 7, Year 9 or Year 12 rather than only Year 10.
- Joined Meridian Trust (formerly Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust) in June 2021, giving up its original status as a standalone single-academy trust.
- Offers a guaranteed job interview to students on completion of their studies in Year 11 or Year 13, subject to results — a distinctive part of its employer-partnership pitch.
