About University Technical College Norfolk

University Technical College Norfolk posts a Progress 8 score of -0.04, which is almost exactly in line with the Norfolk local authority average of -0.02. That places it 27th out of 57 secondary schools of the same type in the county — squarely in the middle of the pack. But dig a little deeper and the picture becomes more interesting. The school serves a notably disadvantaged intake, with 21.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, and its Attainment 8 score of 47.1 is respectable given that context. Where UTC Norfolk really stands out is in maths: pupils achieve a Progress 8 score of +0.22 in that subject, meaning they make significantly more progress than the national average. English progress is also positive at +0.11. The school's overall Progress 8 banding is not recorded, but the data suggests a specialist technical focus that delivers strong results in core STEM subjects.
