FAQ’s

University Technical Colleges are a new concept in education. They offer young individuals the opportunity to take a highly regarded, technically-oriented course of study alongside academic qualifications. They are equipped with industry-standard equipment, sponsored by local businesses and a university, and offer clear progression routes into higher education or further learning in work.

The Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is currently one of around 48 UTCs across the country, government-funded to provide young people with a high-quality education that closes skills gaps and provides a credible technical pathway.

UTC’s are an educational environment that emulates the environment typically found with modern industry. Both students and staff dress in business wear as opposed to a school uniform or casual clothing, to create a setting that strikes a balance between individual choice and the need to maintain high standards.

In general, students are not required to work outside of the normal ENL UTC hours as there will be time within the school day to undertake the personal study required. Students will be able to access their learning online outside these hours, although we think it is important that young people have time to pursue leisure and social interests alongside their studies. However, home revision when it comes to exam season is crucial.

The ENL UTC employ staff who specialise in providing support to students with special needs and the building has been designed to provide access for all. Please speak to the schools SENDCo Officer about any additional needs your child may have.
