About UTC South Durham

Parents at UTC South Durham are overwhelmingly positive about the school. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 92% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a very strong vote of confidence. The school is oversubscribed in a practical sense: it has 450 pupils on roll against a capacity of 600, so there is some room, but the high recommendation rate suggests it’s a popular choice for families in County Durham. Looking at the individual survey questions, the picture is consistently bright. 92% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a similar proportion felt their child is safe. 88% agreed that the school has high expectations for their child, and 88% felt their child does well. These are strong signals that the school’s day-to-day experience works well for its students, even if the academic data tells a more complicated story.
