Happy New Year to you all and welcome to my first blog of 2017. I formally started the Principal role at the start of January and I am already especially heartened with the continued excitement and interest in our new college in terms of enquiries and applications.

November has been one of the busiest months in terms of shaping our new college.

I sincerely hope that, whether you join UTC Portsmouth in Year 10 or Year 12 in September 2017, you will be expecting to receive an education that matches your strengths and ambitions. The first sign that this is almost certain to be the case came on 31st October when applications closed for Year 10 students.
