Visitors can tour the Academy, meet staff and students, and find out more about the wide range of A level and vocational pathways available for September 2026 entry. As a specialist in healthcare and science, the UTC blends classroom learning with hands-on experience. Students train in realistic simulation spaces, including a fully equipped mock hospital ward, developing skills for careers in areas such as nursing, midwifery, paramedic care, and education. Strong pastoral care and personal guidance underpin every student’s journey. Each learner has a dedicated tutor and opportunities to take on leadership roles, such as Mental Health Ambassadors or through the Give Back volunteering programme. Employer and university partnerships, including with Birmingham City University, give students access to mentoring, work placements, and simulation days, ensuring they are well prepared for higher education or employment. Jo Lawrence, Head of Sixth Form, said: “Our Sixth Form offers the perfect balance of academic challenge and practical experience. Students don’t just learn about their chosen field, they live it. Whether their next step is university, an apprenticeship or straight into the world of work, we give them the skills, confidence and direction to succeed.” Applications for September 2026 entry are now open through Applicaa, a new online admissions system where students can apply and track their progress in real time.
