Year 11 Art Students

Well done to our Year 11 students who showed an unbelievable amount of dedication to their GCSE studies by staying after school to: prepare for their GCSE art exam.

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.
