History

Derby Manufacturing UTC was established in September 2015 as a 14–19 mixed university technical college, with a specialism in engineering and manufacturing. Supported by Derby City Council, it was a partnership between Derby College, University of Derby, Rolls-Royce, Bombardier and Toyota.[3] It was rated 'inadequate' and placed into special measures following its inspection by Ofsted in 2017, and despite two monitoring visits since, the college failed to improve its rating. In December 2019, it renamed to UTC Derby Pride Park and became part of the Sheffield UTC Academy Trust, with a specialism in engineering. The college maintained its original partners, and changed its entry age to 13 and added a second specialism of life sciences in September 2020.[4] In December 2023 UTC Derby Pride Park was inspected by Ofsted graded good overall with outstanding for behaviours and attitudes.
