UTC Derby Pride Park welcomes our Y12 students – Induction Day
It was fantastic to welcome our Year 12 students to UTC Derby Pride Park on their Induction day. During the day students met their tutors, had a welcome presentation from our Associate Principal – Mr Lee Kirkwood and Executive Principal – Mr Nick Crew before spending the rest of the day in their Specialist Areas.
Our Engineering students completed a carousel of events:
- An introduction to Welding
- Polymer Process Practical
- Team Building exercise
Our Applied Science and Health & Social Care students have begun to extend their knowledge of cells and how cells function in Health & disease
We also invited our Y13 students to attend the session so that our Post-16 students worked together and got to know each other from Day 1.
We look forward to supporting our Post-16 students throughout their sixth form studies and beyond.
