South Devon UTC Information

Opening in September 2015, South Devon UTC, one of the first of its kind across the country, is an exciting new school offering students from Year 10 to Year 13 the opportunity to focus on science and engineering subjects, learning in a specialist and purpose built environment. It gives young people with a specific interest in science and engineering the chance to develop their skills, supported by expert and vocationally trained staff, utilising the latest technology that industry has to offer. The curriculum is driven by the development of employability skills alongside the need to meet employers’ ever changing requirements. Employers have actively shaped the curriculum, ensuring it meets the needs and demands of 21st Century industry and advanced technologies. The typical South Devon UTC student will be passionate about and committed to developing the skills required for a career in engineering and science. Alongside the technical studies will be GCSEs and A levels in English, mathematics and science, along with employability skills. In line with our technical and professional ethos, expectations are high in terms of standards of attendance, behaviour, attitude and appearance. As a non-selective, state-funded school we welcome applications from all abilities and backgrounds and are committed to ensuring attainment at the highest possible level.
