About Lincoln UTC
We are not selective, but we are not for everyone. Our challenging technical, practical and academic curriculum is not an easy option. We have a very mature, calm and purposeful learning environment, and require students to be fully committed to our approach.
The UTC prepares students for a seamless transition into the workplace and for this reason we operate a longer working day than most schools. Our hours begin at 8.45am and finish at 4.15pm, with a 20 minute morning break and a 30 minute lunch. All required work is completed within this time frame therefore we do not issue formal homework.
We do not have a uniform but expect our students to dress accordingly in business attire. We also do not operate a bell. Students are expected to effectively manage themselves, as they would at university or in employment, and arrive at lessons on time and ready to learn.
Our behaviour policy is consistent and has clear boundaries, therefore disruption is rare and students treat our business environment with the respect it deserves.
We have fewer students and smaller class sizes than most ‘ordinary’ schools, and for this reason lessons are less chaotic. Teachers have time to help everyone individually, which leads to the development of positive and supportive relationships between the students and the staff.
Attendance is in excess of 97% for all year groups, which is exceptionally strong. Students are happy and proud to be part of our community. They enjoy coming to the UTC and want to attend regularly.
Our vision is to ensure that every student develops the skills required to secure the next step of their chosen career, either at university or in employment. In order to achieve this, we place an explicit focus on skill development and the acquisition of the traits of the ideal learner. It pervades all that we do and the ways in which students are encouraged to learn.
