Have a read below of what we have been up to here at GPUTC.
It has been great to hear about our students securing exam grades that will enable them to study their specialist degree courses – in Engineering, Architecture, Design and Business subjects – at University. Most UTC students have also confirmed their placements in jobs or apprenticeships with local and national companies such as Anglian Water, Perkins Engines, Stirling Maynard and BT.
An incredible performance from team GPUTC, one of only 2 UTCs who made it into the final of the Junior Leader Field Gun #JLFG2018. Competing against service teams with over 3 years of experience our team trained hard, overcame every obstacle in their way and pushed through the exhaustion. Team #GPUTC were placed 5th - the highest UTC in the #JLFG2018.
Year 10 students concluded their 2 week work experience placements earlier this month. Putting their skills to test our students have been working hard on projects in the Cambridgeshire area.
The GPUTC Student Leadership Group led their first whole school charity event as part of their duties, choosing to support Brain Tumour Research’ ‘Wear a Hat Day’ initiative.
Students from across the UK gathered at HMS Sultan, Gosport in order to compete in The Royal Navy Engineering Challenge - Exercise Clean Sweep to mark the Year of Engineering 2018.
Student ambassadors Wiktoria and Amy attended the International Women’s Day event organised by the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce Women's Sector.
The first Inaugural ski trip to Alpes d’Huez took place earlier this year, with students from years 11 – 13 attending.
As part of Women & Girls in Science Day, Anglian Water invited students from the Greater Peterborough UTC to their Central Science Labs to find out what goes into keeping our region's water clean and healthy.
The RAF came into the UTC to deliver 'Project X' to our Year 10 students.
Although our 'year of firsts' has now passed, we are still experiencing lots of 'firsts' as a UTC.
Ever wondered how water gets from its source to our homes? Our Year 10 students can tell you exactly how...
A huge congratulations to our Field Gun Team who soldiered on through the the Royal Navy Junior Field Gun Challenge and performed nothing short of heroically.
