University Technical College Norfolk (UTCN) prepares its pupils exceptionally well for employment in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Pupils participate in an extensive range of encounters with employers. This includes the Year 12 ‘Find Your Futures’ programme, in which students research topics such as wind farms and present to business leaders. All pupils take part in work experience. The school has very high expectations of how well all pupils can achieve. The ambitious curriculum is usually well taught. As a result, pupils often achieve highly. Pupils behave exceptionally well. Staff have clear and high expectations of all pupils, and pupils work hard to meet these. If pupils need support to improve their attitudes to learning or their attendance, staff work tirelessly to help them do so. Over time, pupils become increasingly confident and resilient learners. The school teaches pupils how to stay safe, for instance, on the roads and online. Pupils learn about consent and healthy relationships. Pupils say, however, that they would like a wider range of clubs and more opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
