By many students and also other members visiting or working in this UTC reported this school being a very dull and bad place. The results for many of students in their gcse's or A levels were low and never improved a lot and it was shown to decrease skill level of a lot of students that moved to this UTC as in their schools their results were really good but as soon as they started to attend this UTC their Grades went down hill from there. Many people advise to not attend or come to this place as it's not professional or either good.
