About The University Collegiate School
The UCS is a University Technical College encompassing Key Stage 3 and 4, along with a sixth form provision.
The UCS has an outstanding facility for 11 to 19 year olds which includes specialist laboratories. Our facilities uniquely inspire and motivate our students to succeed in their studies and propel their careers forward.
To accommodate the growing student numbers, a new £17million extension is underway and is scheduled to open in September 2025, along with our Multi Use Games Area which opened in September 2024, providing an incredible space for our students and the local community to engage in a wide range of sports and activities. This fantastic addition reflects our commitment to promoting health, well-being, and inclusivity.
Our staff are subject specialists who employ a wide range of teaching and learning strategies.
The UCS is proud to be an inclusive school. Our values of Professional, Responsible, Loyal guide everything we do and govern how we treat all our stakeholders. We take inclusion seriously and make sure that each individual in our organisation is seen and cared for.
Our school expanded to 11-19 in 2020, and as we grow we want to continue to deliver education differently. We are proud to be sponsored by the University of Bolton, located on their knowledge campus and supported by our trusted industry and health sector partners.
QUEST Trust supports young people from Early Years to Employment.
