Welcome to our CTS Snapshot - a weekly celebration update. We are delighted to share with parents and carers alike student triumphs at Corby Technical School. We are proud of every student and every success they have - please feel free to share with us any achievements they might have.
Snapshot News:
We had an amazing night celebrating with Year 11, the students looked fantastic and it was wonderful to see their families joining in the celebrations. After their arrivals in some fabulous cars, students had photographs taken on a bench which was constructed especially for the Prom by Mrs Arnold, Mr Harley and Mrs Morgan, followed by more photographs in their tutor and friendship groups. The George Weston Theatre had been decorated and looked beautiful ahead of the formal meal, and we had a disco to keep the students entertained. Over the course of the evening students had the opportunity to have more formal photographs taken by Miss Bowman and some fun pictures taken with props. The students and staff had a great night and it was a great end to their journey at Corby Technical School although many will be back as Sixth Form students in September.
There is an album of photographs on the school website and our Facebook page.
