THE FUTURE looks bright for UTC Reading students who received their exam results on Thursday, August 18.
The outgoing Year 13 made the trip into school one final time to pick up their A Level and technical qualification results, securing them places on apprenticeships or university courses.
Students at the specialist engineering and computer science college will be heading into apprenticeships at prestigious companies such as BMW, Mini, IBM, Stantec, Royal Navy and QinetiQ.
Others have chosen to study at university, with destinations including Reading, Swansea, Bath, Oxford Brookes and Portsmouth.
Executive Principal of UTC Reading, Jonathan Nicholls, said: “Our students collecting their results today and securing their next destination marks the end of a complex period for this cohort.
“Having not sat their GCSEs and Level 2 qualifications in the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic, this is the first time they have sat exams in this format with all the pressure and expectation that comes with them.
“Their resilience and focus on the process through their time in our sixth form has helped them to today, where they will now take their first major steps into adult life. They have showed flexibility and determination throughout the last two years and I am very proud of
them all.
“It has been our pleasure to support them on the journey to this point. I cannot wait to hear how they progress through the next years of their lives.”
The college’s vision is to ‘transform lives through learning’, collaborating with employers and UTC Reading allows students to prepare themselves for the workplace.
The college is offering information, advice and guidance to students who are unsure about next steps after their A Levels or BTEC Level 3 programmes.
