Notable

- Confirmed still open and operating separately in 2026: both Sheffield UTCs share the same academy trust (The Sheffield UTC Academy Trust) but hold separate URNs, separate Ofsted registrations and separate specialisms - they have not merged into one school, despite some directory listings implying consolidation

- Links students to the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, whose industrial partners include Boeing
