Results, Destinations and Achievements
We are so proud of how much effort our students put into their studies, alongside the many incredible experiences they have by attending UTC Reading, and we’re just as proud seeing the great results they achieve, as well as the exciting destinations they go on to!
This year students have gone on to some amazing apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships with top flight companies including AWE, Rolls Royce, Stantec, Lenovo and Royal Navy, while others have accepted offers to study STEM subjects at more than 20 UK universities including Oxford University, University of Reading, University of Loughborough, University of Bristol, UWE, Aston University, Surrey and many others.
Below you’ll find results our Year 11 and 13 students achieved in the summer of 2023 for their Technical Qualifications, GCSE’s and A Levels, as well as the professional qualifications they achieved along with their final destination.
2022-2023 results
As ever we are very proud of all our students results. This year grade boundaries were lowered to pre-pandemic levels of 2019 (approximately 5 percentage points lower than 2022), our students have performed amazingly well.
UTC Reading’s acting Head of School Jennie Thomson: “Seeing our students achieve great things after all their hard work over the last few years is very special. Our students have experienced one of the most turbulent educational experiences in recent history with the return from COVID lockdowns, the highest student and teacher absence rates for years and multiple national teacher strikes. Throughout all this our students have shown exemplary resilience, perseverance, and determination to secure excellent destinations for their futures. I am really proud of each of them and their achievements.”
