North East Futures UTC

North East Futures University Technical College (UTC) is an upcoming school for children aged 14-19. The school is one of a new type of school intended to provide high quality, innovative and practical education for students. The curriculum at these schools includes technical specialisms, which differ depending on the labour-force gap in their region. Each individual UTC will be backed and supported by a regional university and a range of employers. As well as this, the school will operate a longer school day, running until 5pm, to better provide for students and reflect the normal working day. North East UTC will provide a variety of different GCSE and A-level subjects, and have a capacity for around 600 students across a relatively large area.
