That's a technical college that only teaches a few subjects. That fully removes the option of doing English Lit (it's not on their options) and you'll have to think about exactly what you do with your other subjects.

Have a look on page 3 of their options booklet: http://lifesciencesutc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Sixth-Form-Options.pdf
I go to a UTC. MOVING WAS THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. DO IT!

In which case, there's nothing stopping you :h:

I really like the UTC initiatives, and that seems like a very high quality one. Would recommend.

Poor choice, UTCs have been extremely badly been put together. For instance the one near me who has people teaching A-level physics without even an A-level in it.

The one you've linked also seems pretty dismal, where are their results?! In fact from the 2015 exam season they've only published one student's results who got A*A*A - clearly the school covering their own ars*s for poor results.

Also look in the prospectus "100% positivedestinations at end of A2" - biggest load of bullsh*t I've ever read.
I totally disagree. I go to the a UTC and have worked with Eton, Cambridge University and even Stanford. I've even got qualifications that no other school in the UK has
