OUR MISSION


Hackney University Technical College will transform the education and aspirations of all its students. We will provide the highest quality teaching, resources and support to enable them to flourish in a twenty-first century global community. We will work hard to develop world-class partnerships with employers for engaging and inspiring opportunities.


Who we are


Hackney University Technical College’s ambition is to offer its students outstanding educational opportunities. It is a mixed, non- selective UTC. The UTC offers places for 14 to 19 year olds. We have specialisms in Health and Digital Technologies and offer first class tuition and opportunities in these – as in all other subjects – through our mentors from the University of East London and our business mentors.


We expect our students to leave Hackney UTC with the confidence and qualifications to enable them to achieve their ambitions and make real choices about their future. We have high expectations of our students, staff and parents.


To do this we will provide: • Strong commitment to our student’s achievements


• Excellent standards of conduct - including dress


• A safe, caring environment where respect and consideration are taught and valued.


• Outstanding teaching • A stretching and innovative curriculum that meets the needs of every child and has a real focus on skills for university and

• A dynamic and imaginative enrichment programme


• Regular, careful review and assessment of every student’s progress and needs and tailored support for each child


• New buildings and facilities of industry standard that will foster excellence in teaching and learning.


A University Technical College University Technical Colleges are a new concept in education. Their distinctive purpose is to offer 14-19 year olds the opportunity to take a highly regarded, technically- oriented course of study at a specialist college, sponsored by a university and FE College. They offer clear progression routes into Higher Education or further learning in work, equipped to the highest standards. Our specialisms are Health and Digital Technologies, together with an associated emphasis on the development of business skills and the use of ICT.


We will be a small UTC of no more than 400 students when we are fully open in 2016. Until then we will only take a maximum of 100 new students each year.


This will enable every child to be known individually and to identify strongly with the UTC.


The active involvement of the University is a clear demonstration that the UTCs are important and prestigious institutions, providing opportunities and progress in a variety of careers at all levels of attainment.


All entrants at 14 will start with practical hands-on experience in the area they have chosen, but throughout their time at the UTC there will be a continuous updating of their skills and range of knowledge. All students between 14 and 16 will study the core requirements of the National Curriculum including the English Baccalaureate: Maths, English, Separate Sciences and IT, as well as Religious Education and Sport.


Hackney UTC is sponsored by Hackney Community College, the University of East London, BT and the Homerton University Hospital Trust. This enables us to lead learning and offer high quality education to ensure that every student achieves highly enough to have real options in later life.
