student leadership team
At UTC Portsmouth we hold elections each year for key student leadership positions. Candidates for student President come from Year 12 while Vice Presidents are from Year 10. Throughout their year of service, student leaders are the voice of the student body and bring ideas and issues directly the the college Principal. They also represent the college at key events, including open evenings and the new intake sixth form social.
Freya - President
Previous School: Priory, then UTC Portsmouth from Year 10.
Study programme: A level Maths, Further Maths and Physics
Alex - President
Previous school: Brookfield School, then UTC Portsmouth from Year 10.
Study programme: Extended Certificate in Engineering with A level Computer Science and Maths
Why did you choose to come and study at UTC Portsmouth?: I joined UTC in Year 10 as it allowed me to focus on subjects I am passionate about as well as have teachers who are truly interested and enjoy the subjects they teach. Throughout these two years I found a welcoming environment and many new opportunities that I would not have had access to at any other school. It is these facts that convinced me to stay for Sixth Form so that I could continue to have these life changing opportunities. I can truly say that moving to UTC Portsmouth in Year 10 was one of the best decisions I have ever made and has probably changed the course of my entire life.
What are your plans for the future?: I am hoping to continue into further education with either a degree apprenticeship with one of the college’s Employee Partners or to study a form of engineering at university. Outside of academics, I am also hoping to move back to mainland Europe in the not too distant future.
Alice - Vice president

Why did you choose to come and study at UTC Portsmouth?: I chose UTC Portsmouth because I wanted to learn more about STEM, especially the sciences which would help me towards my future career.
