The Watford UTC

The Watford UTC was a 14–19 University Technical College (UTC) in Watford, England that opened in September 2014. The UTC specialised in Event Management, Hospitality and Computer Science.

The UTC's sponsors were the University of Hertfordshire, Hilton Worldwide (whose European base is in Watford), and Twin Technology who specialise in server provision and virtualisation.

History
It was visited by Ofsted in 2017 and declared a good school. In 2018 it failed to set a balanced budget and had its funding monitored by central government.

The school struggled to attract pupils, and in 2021 it announced plans to open a Key Stage 3 section, teaching eleven year olds.

The Department for Education confirmed that The Watford UTC will close at the end of the 2022/2023 academic year. The school formally closed at the end of August 2023.
