As a school we have a strong technical ethos that threads through each strand of the curriculum, whilst study a comprehensive range of subjects.

Corby Technical School prides itself on ensuring students are equipped with transferrable skills and knowledge that will prepare them for careers in our fast-changing world. We also consider it important to develop well-rounded students who have high aspirations, cultural capital, and a desire to make a positive difference in society.
