At 14-16 (Key Stage 4) we provide a core education in GCSEs English, Maths and
Double Science as well a specialist technical route in either in Engineering,
Health Sciences or Digital Technology (from September 2022). In the Sixth Form
(Key Stage 5) you can continue the same three pathways following courses up to
an equivalent of 3 A Levels. The primary focus of our UTC is to provide students
with an educational experience which prepares them for employment in either
engineering, health or the world of digital technology. These three industries
provide huge employment opportunities for young people when they leave school or
university. A UTC education is built upon the principles of employability and
the skills required to be successful at work. What makes our education pathways
different is that our curriculum is built to work in partnership with employers.
A range of industrial and university partners provide experiences for students
which stretch beyond the school setting. South Devon UTC opened in 2015 as an
engineering centre with specialist equipment which enriches and enhances the
educational experience for students. Since March 2021 the UTC has become part of
Education South West, a large multi academy trust stretching across South Devon.
This new partnership has resulted in significant investment to develop
facilities and provide new pathways in Health Sciences from September 2021 and
Digital Technology from 2022.
