Waterfront UTC offers the best of both worlds: students study in a work-like environment while still experiencing all the benefits that traditional schools offer. Our focused curriculum will prepare you for a career in engineering or construction sectors while keeping other career routes open.
Year 10s and Year 11s study traditional GCSE’s along with a Technical curriculum of L2 BTECs.
Progression after year 11:
Students who have successfully achieved a grade 4 or better in five or more GCSEs, including English and Maths, will be able to progress to Waterfront UTC’s years 12 and 13 to follow a programme based on BTEC National (Level 3) qualifications in either Engineering or Construction & the Built Environment and/or A Levels.
Three routes are available for students studying at Level 3 and they all focus on the UTC’s unique technical specialism and approach to learning. We will discuss with you the programme that meets your own individual needs and supports your future progression.
Programmes of study for A Level standard courses are for students who have achieved at least five grade 5s in appropriate subjects (their may be some flexibility in this). Students who have successfully achieved a grade 4 or better in five or more GCSEs, including English and Maths, will be able to progress to Waterfront UTC’s years 12 and 13 to follow a programme based on BTEC National (Level 3) qualifications in either Engineering or Construction & the Built Environment and/or A Levels.
Students who have achieved grade 4 at GCSE in English and Maths can be given the opportunity to study and retake their GCSE English and Maths exams.
