Take a look at the latest UTC Reading news, including projects our students have been working on and awards they’ve won.
On Wednesday 27 March, students from UTC Reading took part in the annual Royal Navy engineering challenge, designing two vehicles that, working together, could rescue a damaged helicopter from a tropical island.
Welcome to the latest edition of the UTC Reading newsletter. Take a look at the range of exciting activities that have been taking place over the past term:
Earlier this month, UTC Reading teacher, Lewis Hart, became Acting Pilot Officer of UTC Reading’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF).
As Event Coordinator at UTC Reading missing a couple of days generally means you’ve missed at least a handful of exciting projects, events or talks. Imagine then taking a break of a year (I was not idle, I had a baby!) and coming back and trying to get your head around everything that has been happening in your absence. It’s incredible what has been going on here!
Last month, a group of Year 10 and Year 11 UTC Reading students took part in the UKMT Intermediate Maths Challenge.
Year 11 student, Thomas, has recently achieved both the Bronze and Silver Duke of York Award, as part of his cadet cybersecurity course, and now aspires to go for Gold!
Year 13 student, Hashim, has been accepted onto a degree apprenticeship with Jaguar Land Rover, starting in September 2019.
Following the recent release of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER)'s report that evaluates project-based learning at University Technical Colleges (UTCs), in which UTC Reading featured as a case study, UTC Principal Jonathan Nicholls goes on to discuss how it has worked for UTC Reading.
