"Some Areas for Improvement"

We've been generally pleased with UTC Reading, but there are a few areas where the school could improve. Our son has loved the engineering program, but sometimes feels a bit overwhelmed by the academic workload. We've also had some issues with communication from the school, which can be frustrating.

"Excellent Support for Students"

As a former parent, I can attest to the excellent support that UTC Reading provides for its students. The school's focus on industry partnerships has given my son the skills and confidence he needed to succeed in his career. He's now working as a software engineer and attributes his success to his time at UTC Reading.

"A Great Learning Community"

UTC Reading has been a fantastic choice for our daughter. The school's values of collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving have really helped her grow as a learner. We've been impressed by the opportunities for students to apply their skills in real-world projects, like the REME Engineering Cup.
