UTC Reading, now in its 8th year and specialising in Engineering and Computer Science for 14–19-year-olds, has been designed to reflect a business environment with state-of–the-art facilities and was judged by Ofsted as Outstanding in every category in May 2015 in only its second year of operation.

All UTC Reading KS4 (14-16) students specialise in either Engineering or Computer Science alongside a focused and responsive curriculum based on the changing needs of the industries and employers that we support. The curriculum for KS5 (16-19) becomes more specialist where students can chose one of three routes of study. All technical, All A Level or a blend of the two. All the KS5 routes will support students’ progress on to positive destinations such as apprenticeships, employment or higher education.

Student also have access to a broad range of globally recognised professional qualifications to prepare them for the workplace including Microsoft Office Specialist, Microsoft Technology Associate and many more.
