Education & childcare

University Technical College (UTC) Heathrow is a school and sixth form in Northwood for students from Y10 - Y13, specialising in engineering and IT. We 'Transform Lives Through Learning' by providing exciting and innovative education for young people by looking at how we learn as well as what we learn.

As you approach the beginning of GCSEs or Sixth Form, you'll be facing some important choices about your learning. You'll know that getting these decisions right will set you on the path to a great career. We're really pleased that you're thinking of coming to UTC Heathrow and taking advantage of the many opportunities we can offer you.

With us, you'll be able to follow your areas of interest in engineering and digital while studying GCSEs, A Levels and technical qualifications getting invaluable practical skills from the best in the industry. This is because UTC Heathrow has the support of local, high-profile industry and academic partners who help to shape the curriculum and work closely with our students throughout their time with us.

We believe that students who attend UTC Heathrow are given the best start in a variety of progression routes. Last year all our students progressed on to university, an apprenticeship, a sponsored degree programme or employment. Our destinations are outstanding.

UTC Heathrow will offer you something different and we expect you to want something different:

to follow your interest in engineering and/or IT while studying for your GCSEs, A Levels or BTECs
to embrace opportunities to work through challenges, projects and curriculum content set by our industry partners
to want the best chance of moving into employment or further and higher education in your chosen field
If you want to benefit from the latest technology, be in an environment that feels more like being at work than school and benefit from our wide industry links then UTC Heathrow could be for you.

We hope our website will inspire you to find out more about the great opportunities we have to offer at UTC Heathrow and we would warmly welcome you to join us in September.
