We offer focussed opportunities for every individual student. We have bespoke relationships with Industry and Higher Education. We have some of the region’s largest employers and the University of Greenwich, working with us on site at Waterfront UTC, signposting our students to success.
We are in the business of growing the next world class generation of engineers, entrepreneurs, business leaders and highly prized technical workers. We do this by offering students an experience that is not available in any other educational environment.
We are offering young people outstanding technical qualifications in Engineering, Construction and The Built Environment, alongside more traditional subjects.
The UTC originally opened in September 2015 as ‘Medway UTC’ but, since working with The Howard Academy Trust, the school has recently been re-launched as ‘Waterfront UTC’ to continue its ongoing development which is proving to be very successful. Through employer partnerships, Waterfront UTC is a school that offers each student the opportunity of clear employment routes, whilst providing a strong traditional education. At Waterfront UTC, students are developed to be employable young professionals.
