Hi There cannot believe I have got to the stage of looking around sixth forms for child no 2 who will be sitting GCSEs next May. We went to visit the new University Technical College at Berkeley Green and was pleasantly surprised. It would mean being going to a new school with no track record but looking at the UTC Filton ...they have had some young people get some great results. The staff seemed enthusiastic and the facilities are pretty amazing for a young person wanting to focus more on science, maths, engineering and digital technology.
I have to say it could be a serious option for ds and there is a subsidised bus service from Gloucester.
We will still look round the local sixth forms as well but just thought Id share ....it also takes a yr 10 intake for GCSE’s....which might suit some who are not happy in their current school or fancy a different type of school experience...
