The ‘schools, pupils and their characteristics’ Statistical First Release contains data on the gender split in schools in the 2016/2017 academic year and is available at the following link:

This data only covers schools in England, as education is a devolved matter. There are no University Technical Colleges (UTCs) in Wales.
