Technology colleges use their specialist status to raise standards of achievement and the quality of learning in design and technology, science and mathematics for all the students across the ability range. These departments contribute to whole school improvement by developing innovative approaches to teaching and learning. They develop and share good practice across the curriculum particularly between the specialist subjects.
They are active partners in a learning society with their local families of schools and their communities, offering opportunities for enriching and extending learning experiences. This includes sharing resources and good practice.
Technology colleges promote an educational culture which is scientific, technological, enterprising and vocational. They raise the post-16 participation rate in the specialist subject areas, and provide young people with the skills needed to progress into employment, further training and higher education according to their individual abilities, aptitudes and ambitions.
