BMAT STEM Academy (formerly known as Sir Charles Kao UTC) is a University Technical College located on the Harlow College campus in Harlow, Essex, England, which opened in September 2014.[1] It was named after the Nobel Prize winning scientist Charles K. Kao who worked and studied at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories in Harlow.

An Ofsted report in April 2017 gave the school a "Requires improvement" grade in all categories; at that time the school had 140 students[2] although its capacity was 500.[3]

From April 2018, the school was re-launched as a member of the Burnt Mill Academy Trust, which runs schools in Essex including Burnt Mill Academy and Epping St John's.[4][5] It was renamed to the BMAT STEM Academy.[6]
