DEAR STUDENT HELLO & WELCOME TO UTC CAMBRIDGE

WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN HERE COME & SEE FOR YOURSELF

UTC Cambridge is unique! Situated in the heart of the biomedical campus, surrounded by world leading academic and commercial organisations, it is an educational establishment that provides opportunities unlike any other for the scientists and technologists of the future. In my role as Chair of Governors, I work with a professional team of governing body members to further develop UTCC’s strategy and vision, enhance the college environment and strengthen the links with employers. I currently work as a senior executive employed by MedImmune, a global biotechnology company which already has strong links to UTC Cambridge. I can see the college being an integral part of the success of the bio-medical campus, ‘delivering future scientists’ to the industry. I am a chartered biologist, a scientist by profession. I hold an MPhil in molecular pathology, I am a fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and a Fellow of the Institute of Directors and it is this wealth of experience I bring to the UTC Cambridge. I am passionate about academic and vocational education and the focus on project based learning, in collaboration with local employers, is an educational opportunity that no prospective scientist or technologist should ignore.

How To Find Us

UTC Cambridge | Prospectus 17-18

WHAT IS A UTC? NATIONAL MOVEMENT, LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION A University Technical College offers a head start in education from age 14, leading to high quality careers.

Curriculum

At UTC Cambridge, you will study GCSEs and A Levels alongside technical qualifications working with top employers and universities.

The student experience at UTCs is dominated by employerled projects. These projects drive not only the specialist, technical elements of the curriculum but also the academic and employability elements too.

A different approach to education...

Mentoring

University Technical Colleges (UTCs) have been designed to meet the needs of employers for up-and-coming young talent with the right skill sets and knowledge to fill the jobs of tomorrow. UTCs take students as young as 14 and offer a combination of technical qualifications alongside GCSEs and A Levels. This combination of academic and technical learning is unique, equipping students for university, apprenticeship and starting a career. The curriculum is influenced by our unique industry partners, and the learning experience includes a broad range of activities with leading professionals. UTC Cambridge opened its doors in September 2014 specialising in Biomedical and Environmental Science and Technology. The first set of graduates emerged in 2016 with good results and a portfolio of employer-based experience to help them stand out from the crowd.

Mentoring is an important element of the many and varied ways in which employers are actively involved with UTCs. The Employer Mentor programme involves sessions where students are matched with UTC employer supporters from different sectors. Each employer is matched to a small number of students with interests relevant to their specialism. In the employer mentoring sessions, you will have the opportunity to find out about the employer’s career journey, ask what employers are looking for from potential employees and generally find out more about the industry sector that you are interested in.

Employer-led learning Over 30 top employers, the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University have already contributed to the success of UTC Cambridge. The employer-led curriculum and the whole approach of UTCs enables students to develop their employability skills such as problem-solving, time management, organisation, team working, leadership and communication. “It would have been really useful to experience practical work before I went to university. There is a huge difference between carrying out a scientific experiment and really researching and questioning the results.”

Placements, Trips and Tours Work experience at UTC Cambridge is all about matching interests with opportunities. Each student enjoys around five visits to company premises each year and works alongside employers during Challenge Projects most weeks. You will also have the opportunity to participate in national competitions and events as part of your studies. Participation in trips to the theatre, sporting events and museums are also very popular. Students are encouraged to complete an additional week-long work experience. This type of placement can vary in length and provides an outstanding opportunity to gain an insight into what it is like to work in the sector. Together these activities build up a rich mix of experience that complements your studies, helping to develop your confidence and communication skills.

CHALLENGE PROJECTS EMPLOYER-LED LEARNING And so much more… Challenge projects are developed in close collaboration with partners in industry, health care and academia, in association with UTC Cambridge staff. They provide a unique opportunity to: • develop a practical understanding of science • develop practical science skills • underpin curriculum teaching • develop transferable skills such as teamwork, leadership and literacy • gain careers guidance The projects provide our students with the practical skills you need to underpin the learning achieved through your academic study, putting you in a very strong position when it comes to applying for sixth form, university, apprenticeships or work. The UTCC Challenge Project programme is widely regarded as a national exemplar of excellence in project based learning both by educationalists and business leaders. Collaboration with Partners in Industry The projects are delivered through a partnership between UTC Cambridge staff and colleagues from a wide range of partner organisations. The projects involve students engaging in seminars/masterclasses, practical activities, teaching activities, independent work and visits to address and overcome real world problems through a cross-curricular approach. Most projects will involve a range of activities that promote work-based skills. In years 10 and 11 students work through a carefully crafted sequence of projects designed to allow you to experience a wide range of science and engineering based fields. These include biomedical research, physical science, engineering and computer science.

04 | Challenge Projects

Initially you will complete three short projects to give you the basic skills to excel at project based learning before completing five extended projects, each lasting for around nine weeks. In years 12 and 13 students are given the opportunity to select from a wide range of projects from across the sciences and engineering. This allows you to personalise your education and gain the skills that you require to support your future career ambitions. Initially you will complete three short projects to give you the basic skills to excel at project based learning before completing four extended projects (out of a possible 12), each lasting for around nine weeks.

RNIB AIDS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHALLENGE Working with computer scientists from ARM and MathWorks students either use open datasets to create an automated navigation aid or a smart meter that would work for the visually impaired. As part of the project students achieve the prestigious EDT Gold Cadets Award.

In addition you will have the opportunity to complete the Extended Project Qualification, an individual research project that is very popular with Universities as an entrance qualification alongside A Levels or BTECs. All UTC Cambridge students take part in the Duke of York Award. Our nationally recognised Challenge Projects provide the foundation for you to achieve this technical award. In 2016, 61% of our post-16 students achieved Gold and 29% achieved Silver awards and 54% of our pre-16 students achieved Silver and 46% Bronze awards. “We are enjoying running challenge projects for UTCC students. They are clearly developing the competence required in the laboratory, the confidence to discuss their ideas and the creativity to communicate their discoveries.” DR SIMON RUDGE, SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST, THE BABRAHAM INSTITUTE

Challenge Projects have given me an insight into real lab work and how professional laboratories are run.

Cambridge is contributing to the UK’s economic development and this is driven by the large number of very successful science and technology companies in the region. There are over 1,500 companies in the Cambridge Technology Cluster, employing over 53,000 people and generating over £12billion a year (and that is before you take into account science and technology jobs in academia and healthcare!). UTC Cambridge is located on the Cambridge Biomedical campus, one of the region’s largest employers, where around 6,000 extra jobs (mainly in science and technology) are being created over the coming few years. Our role on the campus is to train students to fill those jobs at all levels, both for the campus, and in the wider science and technology community. Progression is at the centre of all that we do at UTC Cambridge, we want every one of our students to have the best possible chance of succeeding in their chosen career path. Therefore, we expect each student to achieve their best in their academic studies, Challenge Project work and in the many other opportunities that we provide. To support our students in progressing we provide a week’s work experience for all of our year 10 and 12 students. We also provide a bespoke careers guidance programme facilitated by staff that are passionate about you achieving your dreams. Each student receives personalised guidance in developing CV writing skills, interview technique, UCAS and apprenticeship applications. Because our students meet so many employers they learn about a wide range of careers and develop the skills and confidence to conduct themselves in a professional environment. Involving employers at the heart of our education enables students to build professional networks and opens doors and work experience opportunities that are not always available elsewhere.

FATHER OF AISHA

These are just some of the employers you’ll be working with:

“UTC Cambridge is developing excellent partnerships with local employers and the technical community and clearly drawing on Cambridge’s strengths and intelligence. The degree and number of projects that this enables combined with how much time is dedicated to them is very special. Few colleges dedicate a whole day and more to project work – it really sets UTC Cambridge apart from the rest.” LORD BAKER

SCIENCE KNOWS NO GENDER

UTCC VISION Our Vision is to be known as an exceptional ‘Science Hub’ in the heart of Cambridge, providing first-class education in science that is inclusive for all. We are an educational provision, equipping students with academic and professional skills for the workplace. We will work with Industry partners to deliver the highest quality education, filling the skills gap, both locally and nationally in the science and technology industries. Adding ‘UTC Cambridge’ to your CV as your education provider will become shorthand for communicating your capability. We will ‘Deliver Future Scientists’. UTC Cambridge is set in state of the art facilities for science and technology. On entering the building you immediately feel the energy and there is a vibrancy and buzz that matches the impressive surroundings. You will find students gathered informally in the Learning Plaza; collaboration and a work-based ethos is clearly evident. There is a feeling of space throughout the building, in the social spaces, the subject specific classrooms, the individual study rooms and most impressive, the entire top floor dedicated to industry standard laboratories. Technology is key to the learning environment and our digital communications are second to none. We are proud to be able to offer UTCC students access to the Eduroam network used by Cambridge University.

Students play a vital role in ensuring the success of UTC Cambridge. We are an inclusive college and it is critical that students participate in decision making. The Student Governance, made up from elected students, meet to evaluate and implement UTCC policy and are key to arranging the social events such as the end of year 11 prom. At UTCC there is an expectation that students want to study and that they contribute positively. In return they enjoy an environment that is respectful, stimulating; full of challenge and opportunity.

Innovation and experimentation are core to the UTC Cambridge experience. Visiting industry experts deliver masterclasses in the spacious lecture theatre and these seminars are as interactive as they are diverse. One week you will be listening to cutting edge instruction on computer design, the next you’ll be observing the art of brain dissection.

UTCC is working hard to promote STEM as an exciting prospect for all genders in higher education and as a career, and it is through collaborations at local and national level, that we can begin to make an impact!

UTCC is bucking the trend. Government statistics reveal that there is a worrying lack of applicants for teaching jobs in the science and technology subjects. At UTCC we have a highly professional team of science teachers to inspire our students.

‘Delivering Future Scientists’ is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you want to be a doctor, a programmer, a physicist, a lab technician, a researcher

discipline, except Medicine. Nationally girls tend not to select, or perform well in STEM subjects, but at UTCC our results show that we promote women in science. This year we had our first GCSE successes; 98% of our students took triple sciences at GCSE with 70% achieving A*-C, against a national figure of 19% and on average 84% of our girls achieved A*-C in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. We are confident that UTCC will continue to provide the perfect platform to nurture female scientists of the future.

or a technical writer, UTCC offers the support and education to achieve your ambitions. There are many different avenues available to you and you will gain a wide experience of new and exciting employment paths. You will get the opportunity to indulge your STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) interests and benefit from personal interaction with industry partners.

We are all too aware that despite clear imperatives and multiple initiatives to improve diversity, women remain under-represented at all levels in every STEM For more information visit: utccambridge.co.uk

ENRICHMENT SO MUCH MORE...

At UTCC we create an environment where students can grow and develop as people above and beyond what they gain as part of the curriculum and the challenge projects. We run many trips for all year groups and offer a busy programme of enrichment clubs, some facilitated by staff and some facilitated by students. During 2016 popular clubs included art, astronomy, debating, feminism, model building, robot construction and film-making.

Sports Clubs

Engineering Club

Art

At UTC Cambridge we promote a culture of ‘healthy body – healthy mind’. Our students are offered a range of physical activities. Sports enrichment is a large part of the UTC experience. Every lunch time there are at least two different sports clubs taking place on our AstroTurf. Popular activities are Football, Basketball, Hockey, Netball, Ultimate Frizbee and Tennis in the spring/summer term. As well as this, we run tailored activities for specific groups, such as ‘girls only’ Boxercise sessions with our trained Boxercise instructor. We also have our own Gym with both cardiovascular exercise machines and free weights that our post-16 students are allowed to use in free time.

The term ‘skunkworks’ is used to refer to a group within an organisation with a high degree of autonomy, tasked with advanced and often secret projects. The UTCC Skunkworks has a similar task, where students work on their own engineering projects supported by experts but led by the students themselves.

Art and science can appear like polar opposites. For those of us involved in either field today, we know that the similarities between how artists and scientists work far outweigh their stereotypical differences. Both are dedicated to asking big questions: “What is true? Why does it matter? How can we move society forward?” Leonardo da Vinci was both artist and inventor and Brian Cox was known for his music before he gave it all up for the Large Hadron Collider.

Our engineers have designed robots, dune buggies, power supplies and gyrocopters. We have access to 3D printing and scanning facilities and provision for electrical, mechanical, acoustic and chemical engineering. This club will allow you develop the skills, confidence and contacts that provide a competitive advantage for the next stage of your career.

That is why at UTC Cambridge we hope to inspire students to explore the arts and develop their own creativity and skills. Students are encouraged to take part in arts activities they enjoy; they can spend time researching artists for inspiration and share their appreciation of the arts with others. We work together on arts projects during enrichment time and gather a portfolio of work, either in a sketchbook, folder or through multi-media, this allows our students to reflect on their own development. Students can complete a nationally recognised qualification; a Bronze or Silver Arts Award. We are moving STEM into STEAM incorporating Art and design into Science, technology, engineering and mathematics. DaVinci himself said, “Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.” Enrichment

PRE 16 CURRICULUM 14-16 STUDENTS GCSE Biology

GCSE Chemistry

GCSE Physics

GCSE Maths

Biology is an exciting and dynamic subject at the heart of modern healthcare, research, agriculture, conservation and sustainability. Not only does the course provide a good introduction to understanding how our own body works, but it also explores the wider aspects of life on Earth and how we understand it. Biology is essential background for anyone considering a career in science but studying this subject also promotes an understanding of the most topical issues such as stem cell technology, drug development, global warming and conservation.

Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. It focuses on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter, particularly reactions that involve electrons. A study of chemistry at GCSE will begin to give you an understanding about how things work and how chemistry can be used when considering the science of the Atmosphere, Atomic Structure, Chemical Changes, Bonding, Energy, Using Resources, Organic Chemistry, Rates of Reaction, Quantitative Chemistry and Chemical Analysis.

Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. This understanding can then challenge our imaginations which eventually leads to great discoveries and technologies that can change the lives of us all. A study of physics at GCSE provides an introduction to many of the fundamental ideas and theories that form the basis of many of the other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy (and can be applied to biology or medical science). GCSE Physics introduces and develops the ideas and theories surrounding Energy, Electricity, the Particle Model of Matter and atomic structure, Forces, Waves, Magnetism and Electromagnetism and Space Physics.

GCSE Maths is a key requirement for the success of young people in the work place. It provides you with the essential skills to reason, analyse and problem solve in different real world contexts. Students will learn topics involving number, ratio, algebra, statistics and geometry and all abilities will be appropriately stretched and challenged. There will be a formal assessment at the end of year 11 involving three exams that are an hour and a half long. In preparation students will sit termly mock exams starting in year 10, ensuring they are well prepared for the actual exams. During the two years of study students will have the opportunity to participate in UKMT Maths challenges and regional year 10 Maths feasts.

A qualification in biology can lead onto a wide range of career options, including university courses, apprenticeships and employment, including both traditional careers such as medicine, veterinary science and research or diversifying into management, diagnostics and law.

14 | Pre 16 Curriculum

A GCSE in Chemistry will enable you to progress onto an A-level Chemistry course, BTEC science, or a range of apprenticeships requiring the skills of a physical scientist.

If your standard of Maths is high you will have the opportunity to study for a GCSE equivalent qualification in Further Maths.

GCSE English Language & Literature English provides plenty of opportunities to experience and reflect upon the emotional, psychological, spiritual and cultural dimensions of human experience, areas which the natural sciences might not quite reach at times… We want to nourish and provoke young imaginations through a rich and varied exploration of the literary arts in drama, poetry and prose fiction. We seek to develop a depth and maturity of thought and understanding. English at UTCC works hard to develop a range of skills that support the students’ scientific enquiry, particularly the focused investigations of the Challenge Projects: reading skills to enable effective research; speaking and listening skills to foster an agility of mind to enable clear communication; writing skills to enable clarity and analysis… as well as the descriptive, persuasive and imaginative writing we enjoy.

GCSE Computer Science

Challenge STEM

GCSE Psychology

GCSE Computer Science is an introduction to the programming, theory and technology that is used in modern computing. The majority of the course is delivered via project based learning, with the aim of giving our students a practical insight into the computing industry. Students will develop problem-solving skills and learn about data representation in order to provide a foundation on which you can build programming skills. There is an emphasis on computational thinking, a reasoning used by both humans and machines. Thinking computationally is an important life skill, using abstraction and decomposition. The study of computation is about what can be computed and how to compute it. Computer Science involves questions that have the potential to change how we view the world.

With the new BTEC Tech Award in STEM, students can get to know the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, develop valuable skills and techniques and explore potential careers in industry.

GCSE Psychology enables students to develop a sound understanding of methods and approaches in Psychology. The topics covered include; nonverbal communication (NVC), personality, aggression and memory. This is a good course, not only for developing investigation, analytical, critical thinking and reporting skills, but also for understanding what is going on around you and how to put some of the knowledge gained into practice e.g. memory skills.

As the BTEC Tech Award in STEM is a practical introduction to life and work in the STEM sectors, students will: • delve deeper into how the STEM disciplines work together • develop key skills and an understanding of processes • put what they’ve learned into practice to solve real-life problems. The course has two internally assessed components, and one that’s externally assessed. These components build on each other to motivate students by helping them put what they’ve learned into practice and grow in confidence.

OR GCSE Geography Geography helps you to make sense of the world around you. The course will give you the chance to explore a wide range of topics helping you to understand the social, economic and physical processes which shape and change our world. The practical aspect provides opportunities to learn new skills such as modern computer based mapping (GIS), map skills, role play and debating techniques.

PASTORAL & SEND

SMSC

MEETING INDIVIDUALS’ NEEDS

SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL & CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Tutors at UTCC ensure they build a positive and supportive relationship with their tutees. Your tutor is generally the first person you would go to if you need guidance or advice.

We regularly encompass SMSC within the curriculum, discussing and debating relevant topics for today’s young people. We explore the ethics of science, working alongside companies such as MedImmune; we hold ‘Big Questions’ seminars, inviting guest speakers from organisations such as the Faraday Institute to explore areas of faith, relationships, discrimination and existence; we teach you how to use technology and to implement methods of security, to be aware of cyber bullying and the protocol of messaging; and we work with groups and individual students during ‘Challenge Projects’ to develop work place skills such as presenting, organising, leadership and team work.

If a little extra support is required tutors can refer you to our experienced pastoral team. Students, parents or carers are welcome to approach us directly too: • Director of Student Progress & SENCo • Head of ‘CRICK’ House – Key Stage 4 • Head of ‘WILKINS’ House – Key Stage 5 •E ducation Welfare Learning Mentor • Learning Mentors We advocate, empower and support students with:

Assemblies are held where a variety of companies and support agencies are invited in to talk about what they do and what they can offer young people. This includes Centre 33, CASUS, SexYOUality, CCard and the performance of Chelsea’s Choice looking at healthy relationships, grooming and safe internet use. Many of the presentations have been followed by a workshop with a smaller group of students or a discussion within form time led by the tutor.

• Mental Health • Learning Difficulties • Counselling • Learning Disabilities • Stress • English as a Second Language • Sexual Health • Health & Medical Issues • Problems at Home • Financial Support • Bullying • Housing & Benefits • Relationship & Friendship Issues • General Wellbeing

A popular debate group is run weekly as part of the enrichment timetable and difficult SMSC topics are raised and explored in these sessions, topics include rape, race, elections, abortion, social situations i.e. would you tell your friend if you saw them cheating? “The opportunities at UTC Cambridge are like no other; you gain the skills of communication, independence and confidence in the workplace.”

The students at UTCC can speak to our team in confidence. We will often encourage a family approach, involving parents and carers. We have close relationships with local support agencies who we are able to signpost students towards. All staff are responsible for safeguarding and are trained to take preventative and practical actions to keep everyone safe.

Biology is the scientific study of life: as such it encompasses the investigation of living organisms and life processes from the molecular, through cells and individual organisms to populations and whole communities of animals and plants.

Chemistry is sometimes known as the ‘central science’ because it helps to connect physical sciences, like maths and physics, with applied sciences, like biology, medicine and engineering. Chemistry happens all around us and is part of our everyday existence!

A-level Biology is an interesting and challenging course. When you find out how the world works and everything fits together to allow life to exist, it’s amazing. Biology is an exciting and dynamic subject at the heart of modern healthcare, research, agriculture, conservation and sustainability. Not only does the course provide a more in-depth understanding of how our own body works, but it also explores the wider aspects of life on Earth and how we understand it. This is essential background for anyone considering pursuing a career in science, but also of great importance to anyone living in today’s society. A good understanding of biology is crucial to being able to engage with many of the most topical current issues such as stem cell technology, drug development, global warming and conservation.

Chemistry is sometimes known as the ‘central science’ because it helps to connect physical sciences, like maths and physics, and with applied sciences, like biology, medicine and engineering.

Physics is the most basic and fundamental science. It is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. This understanding can then challenge our imaginations which eventually leads to great discoveries and technologies that can change the lives of us all. A study of physics provides a basis to many of the other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy (and can be applied to biology or medical science). Studying physics encompasses the whole of the Universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest of subatomic particles. A-level Physics develops many of the ideas and theories studied at GCSE such as Forces, Energy and Motion as well as adding Quantum Physics, Medical Physics, Cosmology and Astrophysics.

Computing in industry is essentially a practical subject which applies theory to design and develops products for clients. With this in mind we have developed our curriculum to reflect modern business practice. Most learning is delivered through projects, which involve project management, team work, report writing and the use of industry standard programming languages. The specification looks at how computers store and manipulate data, encryption techniques, details about networking, the Internet and how data can be stored and manipulated.

At UTC Cambridge we believe that science is a practical subject and we strive to make lessons as interactive and practical as possible. You will receive five hours of Biology lessons per week. These are often supported by the work that you will complete in Challenge Projects.

Post 16 Curriculum

Chemistry A-level builds upon the knowledge gained at GCSE but goes much further, revealing some significant simplifications taught at GCSE. Chemistry is a vibrant and exciting subject that enables you to have an enhanced understanding of the world around you. Questioning and experimentation can be really handy when it comes to building a whole range of skills for work. There is so much more to chemistry than meets the eye – it is involved in water and air purification and food, as well as the obvious things like medicine. At UTC Cambridge we believe that science is a practical subject and we strive to make lessons as interactive and practical as possible. Our challenge projects are what sets us apart from other schools, and you will find that there is lots of crossover of content into these projects.

A-level Physics will enable you to study physics, engineering and mathematics at degree level and gives you the basis for studying any numerate degree subject eg. Accountancy. It would also enable you to follow apprenticeship programmes in a range of science related fields and engineering.

This course, with its emphasis on abstract thinking, general problem solving, algorithmic and mathematical reasoning, scientific and engineering-based thinking, is a good foundation for further study. A level Computer Science has been designed for students who wish to go on to higher education courses or employment where knowledge of Computing would be beneficial. Students can study Computing and go on to a career in Medicine, Law, Business, Engineering or any type of Science.

POST 16 CURRICULUM CONTINUED 16+ STUDENTS

A level Maths

A level Psychology

A level Environmental Science

A level Mathematics is an interesting and challenging course which extends the methods you learned at GCSE and includes optional applications of mathematics, such as Statistics, and Mechanics. An A level in Maths provides you with the essential skills to reason and problem solve in a variety of contexts. This is a great way to show universities how committed you are to extending your mathematical learning, even if Mathematics is not the specific subject that you are planning to apply for. It’s a way to set yourself apart from a lot of other students who may also be applying for the same course, and is a useful support for many other scientific or economics based courses.

Psychology is the study of all the ways in which we operate as individuals and groups in society. This is a fascinating subject, which allows you to delve into the depths of the human mind. If you’ve ever pondered the reasons why people do the things they do, this is the course for you! Students who take psychology need a combination of curiosity and scepticism and need to enjoy research.

Environmental science is a highly relevant interdisciplinary science option, linking together ideas and concepts from multiple fields to better understand issues of sustainability and the world we live in. Students will study topics including the physical environment, biodiversity conservation, energy resources, pollution, bio-geo-chemical cycles, climate change and sustainability.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. Psychology entails gaining an understanding of the many facets of the human form. By studying A-Level Psychology you’ll be able to hone your analytical and organisational skills and learn about scientific research methods, including collecting and working with data. Learning about human behaviour can also help to build your communication skills and improve your teamwork and leadership skills. As part of the course you will get to plan and carry out your own piece of research which will involve analysis of data.

When studying the environment, it is perhaps best explored in a practical manner and we aim to make this subject as interactive as possible. The broad range of topics within environmental science allows a great breadth of practical work for investigations and often this will overlap with Challenge Projects.

Research shows that employees with an A level in Mathematics earn on average 7% to 11% higher salaries than similar employees who did not take mathematics beyond age 16.

VOCATIONAL COURSES

The Extended Project Qualification is an opportunity for you to complete a project in a subject area which interests you. You will develop widely transferable skills which will be useful later on, for example, developing critical thinking and project management skills. Universities and employers look for these skills as they are necessary for successful study at university, and they help you stand out from the crowd.

BTEC National Extended Diploma This qualification makes you ideally suited to move on to either an higher apprenticeship, work in a technical area or to university. 90% of the students who enter university with BTEC qualifications receive a 1st or 2nd class degree. “Vocational qualifications are becoming increasingly attractive to employers particularly as they encourage students to develop real-life, 21st-century skills such as problem-solving and team work. They also play an important role in promoting social mobility. Our own research finds businesses either prefer new recruits to hold a mix of both academic and vocational qualifications, or value academic and vocational qualifications equally. Perhaps that’s why more students now go to university with a BTEC than ever before.” ROD BRISTOW, PRESIDENT OF PEARSON’S UK BUSINESS

BTEC Level 3 (National Extended Diploma) In Applied Science

Core Maths (Level 3 Certificate in Mathematical Studies)

Applied Science takes existing scientific knowledge and develops it in a real world capacity. Imagine you are living in an isolated village in Africa and need to help the residents develop a reliable electricity source. Applied Science knowledge of materials, electricity and the effect of electricity upon humans if misused, would be vital in developing a solution. This course is for those of you who love all branches of science and are not ready to specialise.

Have you got your grade C or above in GCSE Maths? A level Maths isn’t for you, but you’re planning to study courses that have some mathematical content to them? Then Core Maths is a great option to consider!

BTEC Level 3 (National Extended Diploma) In Applied Science (Biomedical Science) Biomedical Science looks at the cells, organs and systems of the human body with a view to understanding and treating disease. If you are considering any health care career (excluding medicine/veterinary science for which you will be required to take A levels) this is the course for you.

In a recent survey of maths that people wished they’d learnt at school, more than five of the items appear in the Core Maths syllabus. The course contains elements of: •P ersonal finance: the maths of income tax and national insurance and student loans; and how to make decisions regarding mortgages; insurance; credit cards and borrowing.

The OCR Extended Project is a stand-alone qualification that is equivalent to half an A Level, with an A* achievable, and UCAS points gained. The aim is to help you to develop beyond your existing study programme by giving you the freedom to complete a project on an area of personal interest or benefit, whilst also developing project management skills along the way. Projects are assessed in four key areas: • Project planning and time management • Conducting and using research • Developing and realising a project • Reviewing and evaluating a project University admission officers are actively looking for evidence of students completing an EPQ and it could give you the edge.

•E stimation: so amongst other things, you’ll also be able to calculate the quantities and cost of tiling a bathroom, or laying laminate flooring. •U se and abuse of statistics: will support your work in your other subjects, but will also teach you to be critical of statistics thrown at you every day in the media. Since the content is all set in real world contexts, students who completed the course last year all said they were surprised by just how much they enjoyed it.

PASTORAL 16+ STUDENTS When it comes to the pastoral team, there is never a problem too big or too small. Each student has a tutor and the support of an experienced pastoral team to provide advice and guidance on university, careers and apprenticeships. You will be guided through application processes for university or employment and our contacts with employers, university and training providers allows you to achieve your goals.

POST 16 REWARD SYSTEM Students in Year 12 and 13 have overcome a significant hurdle in their academic lives by achieving GCSE qualifications and securing a place for further study post-16 and as such move into a phase in education where you have more responsibility given to you. All students have study periods, have the opportunity to venture off-site at lunchtimes and may drive in if they have passed their driving tests. This gives you more freedom than you might have been used to during your GCSE study.

DNA BAR CODING CHALLENGE

Engineers from the AirLander team at Hybrid Air Vehicles work with our year 12 students enabling them to learn about the innovative AirLander, a next generation flying vehicle. Students visit IWM Duxford to learn about propellers and test their own hypothesis on propeller design.

UTCC Students work with the Sanger Centre and European Molecular Biology Organisation developing techniques to DNA bar code an ecosystem. The challenge is to DNA bar code Great Kneighton Country Park, using bioinformatics to interrogate the results and establish what species are present.

PROTEIN CHALLENGE Working with Babraham Institute students clone and express oncogenes. The project starts with students being given a PTEN oncogene and its wild type counterpart. Using molecular modelling mutations are mapped and predictions made about their effect on the proteins function. The DNA is then transformed into bacteria, proteins expressed, purified and analysed to confirm the earlier predictions.

Today reinforced to me why I think UTC Cambridge is brilliant. So many teachers turned up to help students with their A Level results and university applications. PARENT OF A-LEVEL STUDENT AT RESULTS DAY
