Aylesbury UTC facilities are unique compared to local schools. Our building was constructed and completed in 2013. The state-of-the-art facilities cost £10 million. Our facilities have the latest technology and equipment for students in Digital and Health & Social Care. Since joining MTOAT in November 2021, further investment has updated the facilities with the Merchant Taylors’ Foundation, who generously supported an IT Suite and in 2023, our brand new Health and Social Care Suite opened. This has realistic environments to simulate best possible learning for our students.
Firstly, when studying Digital at Aylesbury UTC, each student will have access to Computing labs which are equipped to cater for all aspects of the computing industry and stimulate creativity. We have been awarded £120K for specialist Digital equipment. Phase 1 will be installed ready for September 2024.
What’s more, there is an impressive media suite, allowing students to produce professional graphic production. Additionally, there are many more PCs for the development of all aspects of computing knowledge. All computers are loaded with a full range of software applications, everything that an aspiring student would need.
Most important, our brand new Health and Social Care suite is exceptional. Indeed, one of the best facilities in a school in Buckinghamshire! This learning environment allows students to experience practical’s that simulate the real thing.
The facilities and equipment provided for the Health and Social Care students are inspiring. Fitted with new emerging technologies, to enable students to enhance their current skills and learn new ones. Everything required for students to experience practically and then to draw together, analyse and critically evaluate information. The areas for practical working include:
In the first place, the facilities at Aylesbury UTC are clean, modern, and supportive for a fantastic learning environment. Equally important to each specialism is being surrounded by equipment that represents the working environment of their future work places.
Furthermore, the building enables our small community to be happy. Community is one of our main values, which is why we have an amazing social area. This area allows students to easily talk to each other and provides ample space to move around. This space also has access to the cafeteria were students can have access to a wide range of food at lunch and break.
