85% agreeCrewe Engineering and Design UTC's last overall grade from Ofsted was Good, on 4 June 2019. Ofsted inspected it again on 19 November 2024 without giving an overall grade, as single-word grades ended in September 2024.
No. Distance only counts when Crewe Engineering and Design UTC has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Crewe Engineering and Design UTC had 299 pupils aged 14 to 19 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 400. It is a mixed school with a sixth form.
