Located within the University of Bolton campus, UCS has an outstanding £10 million facility for 11-19 year olds which includes specialist laboratories for Optometry, Clinical Dentistry, Pharmaceutical Consulting, Medical Simulation, Robotics, Electronics and 3D Printing.
At the University Collegiate School, learning embraces creative and innovative approaches that engage students, utilising modern technology to maintain pace and interest. Our curriculum design leads the way in a new era of secondary school learning and supports students to learn and develop life skills; to develop resilience in overcoming challenge and develop critical thinking. These skills are what we all require in life, not simply learning and at the University Collegiate School we will provide this bespoke support.
Our facilities uniquely inspire and motivate our students to succeed in their studies and propel their careers forward.
Our staff are subject specialists that employ a wide range of teaching and learning strategies, with our digital platform embedded in delivery to provide the best possible learning opportunities for our students.
We aim to continue the journey of the UTC’s success, as SSATs Educational Outcomes Award Winners and build on this as we welcome our first cohort of Year 7 students in September 2020. The team who have worked tirelessly to improve standards so far, will be the bedrock of the successes in the future and provide a level of excellence and professionalism now being recognised by others.
