Notable
- Occupies the site of the former Bow fire station; the purpose-built BREEAM 'Excellent'-rated building (architects Scott Brownrigg, built by Wates Construction, contract value around £9.5m) includes a 250-seat theatre, media suite, set-construction workshop and health suite reflecting its dual health/creative-arts specialism
- Sponsors span an unusually wide mix for a UTC — alongside Goldsmiths, University of London, its named partners include Bank of America, Barts Health NHS Trust, the British Film Institute and the National Theatre
- March 2025 inspection graded Personal development as Outstanding, with Quality of education, Behaviour and attitudes, Leadership and management, and Sixth form provision all Good; since September 2024 Ofsted no longer issues a single overall effectiveness grade for state schools, so 'Good' here reflects the balance of category grades rather than a formal overall judgement
- Previously rated Good in March 2020
