but different
At UTC we want our students to believe in themselves growing in confidence and maturity. We also want them to understand the importance of self reflection.
Students are to gain emotional intelligence and feel empowered to seek support and advice when necessary.
Ultimately, we aspire for them to grow to be a responsible member of the academy and wider community making positive decisions in their own and others’ lives.
UTC is focused on evidence-based solutions which address pupils and parents/carers needs; the development of a professional community of school mental health experts; and leading change within the area of mental health.
