Year 8 Sports Science Trip

Year 8 students had a fantastic day at the University of Bedford. The trip was aimed at those students who have an interest in GSCE PE or pursuing a future in the Sports Science industry.

Attendance Matters

Every single day a student is absent from school equates to a day lost of learning. At Corby Technical School we pride ourselves in maintaining excellent attendance. Our target is to achieve and maintain a whole school attendance of above 96.5%. We will be giving you weekly updates on our whole school attendance, the tutor group and house who achieved the highest attendance this week.
