Thomas Telford School
Thomas Telford School, a City Technology College situated in Telford in the West
Midlands opened in 1991.
The school has some 1200 pupils on roll, boys and girls, of which 370 are in
the sixth form.
The School has an enviable record of success in public examinations and is nationally
known for its developments in the field of Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) in schools.
The proceeds of the sale of ICT courses to other schools and colleges has enabled
the School to offer sponsorship to fifty schools in the West Midlands towards
the £50,000 they need to raise to achieve Specialist School status. The School
has also become a major sponsor in the development of two Academies in the West
Midlands, Walsall Academy and Sandwell Academy.
At the request of the local Education Authority, the School has entered into
a Federation Agreement with the Governors of Madeley Court School in Telford which
had been facing serious difficulties. Under the terms of the Federation, Thomas
Telford School has provided a new Head Master, some new Governors and has made
available to the school its facilities and curricular expertise. Results and
enrolments have improved markedly and as a consequence Madeley Court School is
seeking Academy status with Thomas Telford School as sponsor.
