Aylesbury UTC

🎉 Congratulations to all our students who receives results today.

We know that there will be some positive surprises and one or two disappointing results. Above all else, our students should be very proud of their hard work and accomplishments at Aylesbury UTC.

We would like to thank student's families and our staff for doing everything possible to support students. There has been an amazing amount of hard work and you have made a massive difference to our young people.

Good luck to the Class Of 2023!

Good luck to ALL GCSE and BTEC Level 2 students for Results Day tomorrow 24th August. School is open from 9am to 11am.

🆕 Year 12's please come into Aylesbury UTC before 1pm to confirm your Sixth Form place.

Advice and guidance will be available.

Collecting your GCSE results is probably the first time you’ve received official academic results in person!

Before GCSE results day

GCSE results day 2023 is on Thursday 24 August.

Try your best to not worry too much about results day as it approaches. Eat normally and get plenty of sleep the night before. Be open with your parents about your upcoming results and any worries you may have – they’re there to help!

What to take on GCSE results day

Have a think about whether you'd prefer to collect and open your results with your parent(s), in a group of friends for moral support, or perhaps just on your own.

Make sure your phone is charged so you can call your family and friends once you receive your results.

Take some photo identification just in case, though it should be a teacher or someone who knows you.

Opening your results

You can either open your results alone, with your family or with your friends – it’s completely up to you!

If you want to open your results with as few people around you as possible, go into school early. If you go in later, there will be more people hanging around who've already collected their results.

What those grades mean and why they matter

English and maths
You should obtain at least a grade 4 or 5 (formerly a grade C) in these subjects no matter what your plans are.

Colleges and sixth forms look for these as a basic requirement to continue your studies with them.

If you don't make the grades, you can resit the exams – but more on that below.

Similarly, it's important to meet any grade requirements you've been set for the subjects you've chosen to study at a higher level.

Didn't get the GCSE grades you hoped for?

You'll hear this a lot, but don’t panic if things don't go to plan. This isn’t the end of the world, even if it feels like it. You have a number of options and paths open to you.

Appealing a GCSE grade

If you want to query a grade – perhaps one is unusually low compared with others and you weren’t expecting this, or you’ve narrowly missed a grade boundary – speak to your teacher in the subject or your head of year. They can request that the exam board reviews the marking of your exam entry.

Do this as soon as possible, ideally, on results day itself when you pick up your results.

If you’re a private candidate you can either get in touch with the exam board directly, or do it via the school or college that submitted your exam entry.

If reviewing your exam doesn’t lead to anything, you can still retake it.

GCSE resits

If you don’t achieve at least a grade 4 or 5 (formerly a C) in your maths and English GCSEs, you’ll have to resit these to proceed to A-level (or other) study. Resits for these can be taken in November.

Best of luck to all AUTC students coming to collect their exam results soon.

Reminder :

Year 13 17th August
Year 11 24th August

Students and families are welcome and only students can collect in person.

School is open from 9 am to 11 am with staff available to support you with any questions and to celebrate with you.

T Level qualifications are equivalent to 3 A Levels.

Are you passionate about making a difference to other people and having a future in Healthcare?

At Aylesbury UTC we are offering post-16 students the option to study T-Level Health.

The entry requirement is to achieve 5 x GCSEs at Grade 4+ (or the equivalent vocational qualifications), preferably with a grade 5+ in English Language, Maths and Science.

Interested? Then look at our website under Sixth Form Health. Link 🔗 in bio above.

You can always contact AUTC for more information by DM us here or our Contact Form on the website.

🪞Reflections on Academic Year 2022 2023.

WOW, so much was celebrated and to be proud of. Just a few photos of memories.

✅️ Aylesbury UTC has now been open for 1️⃣0️⃣ years. Since starting as Bucks UTC, we are now part of Merchant Taylors' Oxfordshire Academy Trust.

✅️ So many of our alumni are in the career jobs they wished for when they first joined the UTC. Whether they experience university, apprenticeships or are directly employed.

✅️ The King Charles III coronation, lots of employer partner visits including NHS, Royal Bucks Hospital, Cisco, Pinewood and many more. In the Amazon Challenge we won🏆. Four open events, career workshops and work experience.

✅️ The Computing department is growing all the time. With additional teaching staff and new equipment. Moving with the fast-paced digital technologies. 💻

✅️ The new Health & Social Care Suite was opened in July 2023, and our Year 10 Health students are so lucky to have a brand new state-of-the-art learning environment at their fingertips.

✅️ Aylesbury UTC has a professional vision of " Sending every young person into the world ABLE & QUALIFIED. " and that's what every member of staff at Aylesbury UTC works hard for. Our students and their families.

✅️ Always sad to see the Yr 11 and 13 students leaving. But excited for some to be staying with us for Sixth Form and welcome the new students joining us soon.

Getting excited to see Level 3 BTEC students on Thursday 17th August from 9:30 to 11:30.

✍️TALENT FOR WRITING

Year 10 students had the opportunity to enter a poetry competition where they were challenged with writing a poem in which they could have their say in verse.

They were asked to write about what they cared about and consider worldwide issues such as:

🌎 the climate crisis
🟰equal rights
✌️ war or poverty...

Our students did a fantastic job, and these amazing 6 students were selected as winners! 🙂

Please can you share this post within your network or tag people in the comments that can help?

Finding work experience placements for our Computing students is an enormous task for the school. Especially since the pandemic and virtual working seem the norm for many in the Digital sector.

There must be some organisations no matter how big or small, who can generously support a focused Year 10 Computing student that is passionate about their future.

Companies that are in:
Cyber Security
Social Media
Website Design
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
IT Support
Computer Networking
Technical Support
Graphic Design
Filming
Video production
3D Animation
Software development
Games Design
System Analyst
Software Engineering
Aerospace

The list goes on 😄

If you can help with a placement for one week, 3rd to 7th July 2023, then please email [email protected]
as soon as possible.

Thank you 🙏
