During Forensic Science in Individual Development time, students have been investigating the case of the ‘Disappearing Diamond’.

Using a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope, they’ve been examining evidence and getting hands-on experience with specialist scientific equipment.

Individual Development time gives students the opportunity to explore areas of STEM beyond their usual lessons and try something different.

Thank you to Hitachi and IRIS for making this equipment available to schools.

At UTC Portsmouth, education is about more than qualifications.

Development Time is built into every student’s timetable, giving them dedicated time to develop themselves academically, professionally and individually.

Students create their own bespoke programme, choosing the opportunities they want to focus on and developing our six STEM habits along the way: communication, resilience, teamwork, creative problem solving, curiosity and responsibility.

Our first Individual Development (ID) sessions of the term are now underway, with students getting involved in everything from forensic science and cosmetic chemistry to video game design, workshop skills, Adulting with Google Sheets and chess.

We believe preparing students for the working world and developing their employability skills is just as important as supporting them to achieve their qualifications.

Development Time is one of the ways we give our students the freedom to choose opportunities that interest them, build new skills and prepare for their future destinations.

What better way to start planning your A Level Computer Science project than by learning from those who have already been through the process?

Today, our new Year 12 Computer Science students began planning the framework for their Non-Exam Assessment (NEA), with our Year 13 students on hand to showcase what they have created, share their experiences and offer advice.

It’s peer-to-peer learning that puts our STEM Habits into practice from the very start, with communication, teamwork and shared experience helping our Year 12 students shape their first ideas.

A great opportunity for our newest computer scientists to see what they could achieve and learn from those one step ahead.
