Apply for Sixth Form
We don’t take students at the start of Year 7, like most secondary schools, which means you can choose to join a bit later on, when you’ve decided it’s the right time for you to pick a more focused option.
Not having students in year 7 or 8 at our school means we can be more grown up in our approach. It makes the building feel very different to what you might have experienced before. And most importantly, we can offer a more focused curriculum.
Why join us for Sixth Form?
Year 12 is the first time you get to home in on your area of expertise. Our sixth form curriculums are specifically designed to help you towards your next step. We make a promise to all our students: If you successfully complete your programme of study with us, we guarantee for you a job, apprenticeship or university place.
We have incredible programmes that will help your journey to university, support you to secure a highly competitive apprenticeship or a job. Every single Studio/ UTC student who’s completed their programme of study has achieved this.

Open Evenings
If you’re thinking of coming to study at the UTC or you’re a parent wanting to learn more about what we do here, then come to one of our open evenings.
You can either attend an open evening in person at the CUC Building where you can take a tour around our building, meet our students and ask our teaching team any questions that you may have.
Or, you can attend an online open evening with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. This is a quick and convenient way to find out more about what we offer and to ask any questions you might have about our curriculum.
We will be sharing our open evening sessions with the Studio School, who share the building, so you will also get a chance to see what creative and digital things the Studio students get up to.
