Parents will be invited to purchase uniform at various times in June and July – details will follow.
Uniform will be available in the Exam Hall with access via the front playground only.
Summer work packs will be made available for students when they attend their selected Induction Day. These packs will also include details of the stationery that students are required to have. The English texts that students are required to buy will also be available to purchase on the Induction Days.
Yes. Although at this stage, there is no guarantee that every change can be granted as changes are dependent on the number of students wanting to take a subject and staff availability. All changes to subject choices are recorded and if a change is unsuccessful, we will inform you as soon as possible. If your child does want to change their options at this point please email admissions@utcn.org.uk at your earliest opportunity.
We currently anticipate that the school year will start as normal in September. Of course, we will all need to follow the prevailing government guidance applicable at the time and act accordingly.
We are currently delivering a comprehensive online learning programme with a full timetable of ‘live’ teaching to our existing students. In the unlikely event that term does not commence in September, we would look to deliver a similar online programme with face-to-face support when permitted.
If you are having any trouble logging into your UTCN account or with saving any of the personal information, please email admissions@utcn.org.uk It is very important that we have all the information requested.
Please visit https://utcn.org.uk/travel if you are unsure about the routes available from youraddress to UTCN. There are some useful websites that will enable you to plan the best route to take. If you email us at office@utcn.org.uk we can also advise.
Below, we set out a few important items of information which I hope that you will find useful.
The purpose of this day is to familiarise students with travel to UTCN, the UTCN site layout, curriculum and expectations and to start to make new friends.
Again, we usually hold an information evening for parents/carers of new Year 10 students in July. We will reschedule this for September. At this event, UTCN systems and procedures will be explained and parents will have the opportunity to meet key staff including Form Tutors.
To help your son/daughter prepare for their studies at UTCN, we are putting together a Summer Work Pack. This will help them gently prepare for Year 10. The pack will also detail the required stationery students will need to get before they start in September. We will send this out in July.
In August First Buses will announce the bus timetable for September 2021 for the UTCN contract buses, this will be published on the school website. We anticipate that this will operate at the same, or similar times, to the current service. This service allows students to travel from Norwich Rail Station, Castle Meadow or St. Stephens to UTCN.
Bus passes for the UTCN contract bus will be available to purchase on uniform collection days. The pass is available through the ‘First Bus App’ but must be purchased directly from UTCN. Once payment has been made a code will be issued to activate the pass as an ‘M Ticket’, further details on how to purchase bus passes will be provided at the Induction events.
The uniform list is available on the school website under ‘Joining Us’. Uniform will be available to order on the Induction Day.
If you have any queries about uniform, please contact V&J Knitwear on 01553 772563 or schoolwear@vj-knitwear.co.uk
If your son/daughter has an identified Special Educational Need, has a medical condition or you feel that they will need extra support in lessons, it is important that you make contact with our SENDCO, Mrs Jarvis via email on sarah.jarvis@utcn.org.uk
Most students chose their KS4 options at interview and these will be checked and confirmed at the Induction Day with your son/daughter.
These are available on our website here. Parents and students should note that Monday, September 6 is the first date of term for new students.
We are nearly fully subscribed for Year 10 entry in September 2021 and we are placing all new applicants on a waiting list for places. We very much hope that your son/daughter will be able to start with us in September, however, if for any reason you no longer wish your child to take up their place with us, we would be grateful to hear from you at the earliest opportunity so that we can give your child’s place to one of the students on our waiting list.
We look forward to seeing you soon, but in the meantime, if you have any queries at all, please contact the Admissions team via email at admissions@utcn.org.uk
