North East Futures UTC is a state funded University Technical College located in the centre of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. It opened in September 2018. This is phase 2 of the Stephenson Quarter redevelopment. [1]

Contents

The college occupies a purpose-built 5-storey new teaching block that is combined with the repurposed Grade II listed facilities of R. & W. Hawthorn, Leslie and Company. Play space is provided at basement level and a Multi-Use Games Area on the roof. The new build is in grey brick to contrast with the historic red brick of the older historic section. A listed one storey height wall had to be spanned: so the featured principal entrance is over a reclaimed hot-riveted ironwork bridge. The project was financed by the Education & Skills Funding Agency and delivered by a private developer. The job cost £12 million. [1]

Sponsors and partners

The UTC corporate sponsors include NHS, Accenture, Academic Health Science Networks, Sage, Ubisoft and the University of Sunderland. Through Dynamo, it reaches out across the North East inviting organisations to become involved via work experience placements and running projects with the students.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Science education in England</span> Overview of science education in England

Science education in England is generally regulated at all levels for assessments that are England's, from 'primary' to 'tertiary' (university). Below university level, science education is the responsibility of three bodies: the Department for Education, Ofqual and the QAA, but at university level, science education is regulated by various professional bodies, and the Bologna Process via the QAA. The QAA also regulates science education for some qualifications that are not university degrees via various qualification boards, but not content for GCSEs, and GCE AS and A levels. Ofqual on the other hand regulates science education for GCSEs and AS/A levels, as well as all other qualifications, except those covered by the QAA, also via qualification boards.
