Year 11, today you stepped out of school for the last time, carrying far more than books—you’re leaving with friendships, resilience, and moments that shaped who you’re becoming.
We are so proud of every single one of you. . We’ll miss your energy, your kindness, and the way you filled these walls with life. Go into the world knowing you matter!!! Go be brilliant !!!

A huge well done to our Y12s for getting through year 1 of their T-level engineering course. We're excited to move into the occupational Specialism and students are working on designing and manufacturing simple machines inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci.

The final WiME raising aspirations sessions held today at Philips 66. The students really enjoyed the interactive health and safety session in the cave and have thoroughly grown in confidence since the first session.

Councillors Praise UTC Scunthorpe Following Visit as Concerns Raised Over Rising NEET Numbers

Town Ward councillors have praised the work being carried out at UTC Scunthorpe after a recent visit to the college, where they witnessed first-hand the benefits of high-quality, career-focused education.

During the visit to the Carlton Street campus, councillors observed lessons, toured specialist facilities and spoke with students, reporting high levels of engagement, confidence and professionalism throughout the college.

Councillor Lorraine Yeadon said she was highly impressed by both the students and the learning environment.

“We were extremely impressed by what we saw at UTC Scunthorpe. The students are talented, inquisitive and highly motivated. They present themselves professionally and clearly benefit from an environment that prepares them for the world of work,” she said.

Councillors highlighted the standard of student presentations and communication skills as a particular strength of the college. One standout moment during the visit involved a student confidently delivering a PowerPoint presentation using only brief prompts and without relying on notes.

Councillor Mohammed Ali described the presentation as “polished, professional and incredibly impressive for a young person.”

The delegation also praised the college’s specialist facilities, including dedicated medical training environments and inclusive support provision designed to assist students with disabilities.

Councillor Yeadon added: “UTC Scunthorpe is an excellent example of what can be achieved when education is aligned with practical skills, confidence-building and employability.”

Despite the positive example set by the college, councillors warned that similar success is not yet being consistently replicated across North Lincolnshire.

The issue comes amid growing concerns about the number of young people classified as NEET – not in education, employment or training.

Last year, Councillor Yeadon, the only Labour representative serving on the Council’s Children’s Scrutiny Panel, formally requested that panel members visit UTC Scunthorpe to gain a better understanding of its approach and explore lessons that could help shape future education policy. Although the request was agreed, the visit has yet to take place.

“It is extremely disappointing that this opportunity has been missed,” she said. “If we are serious about reducing NEET numbers, we must be willing to learn from what works.”

Councillor Yeadon described the rising number of young people not engaged in education, employment or training as “deeply troubling”, warning that too many are at risk of falling through the cracks without the right support.

Town Ward councillors are now calling on the Conservative-led administration at North Lincolnshire Council to take urgent and practical action to create more pathways into education, training and employment.

Councillor Ali said: “Our young people deserve better. We must act now to ensure that every young person has access to the opportunities they need to succeed.”

The councillors said the success of UTC Scunthorpe demonstrates the value of combining academic learning with practical skills and employer-focused training, and believe its approach could provide important lessons for improving outcomes for young people across North Lincolnshire.

Today, our Year 10 students took over Stokes Lawn Coffee & Kitchen in Lincoln for an action-packed barista training session!
Armed with coffee beans, milk jugs, and great latte art skills, they steamed, poured, froth-whirled and caffeinated their way through the day. There were plenty of laughs, a few foam explosions, and enough coffee aroma to wake up the whole of Lincoln!
We learned how to make professional coffees, gained some amazing new skills, and discovered that being a barista is much harder than it looks.
We're now expecting to see a Year 10-run coffee shop appear by next week... How do you take yours ??? 😉
