Pupils value their work-related learning, the focused careers provision they receive and the opportunities they are given to explore their learning with adults. They are mature in their ability to question and debate. Pupils spoken to are confident to discuss the positive experiences they have at Aylesbury UTC, along with areas they think could improve. Pupils on the health and digital learning pathway appreciate the industry-quality resources that they have access to. In these specialist areas, pupils develop the specific technical knowledge that they need to enter the workforce. In other curriculum areas, there is more to do to ensure that the curriculum is improved further. The UTC has encountered several staffing issues since the last inspection. The appointment of the new principal is now ensuring there is a focus on further improving the curriculum. This is needed, as some aspects of pupils’ education are not yet good enough. Pupils feel safe and know that there are adults whom they can talk to if they have concerns. They recognise the pastoral care available to them, and once they have benefited from this attention, they appreciate how individualised it is. However, some pupils say that they are reluctant to use this support or report instances of poor behaviour. The UTC recognises this and is making changes to help pupils feel able to access any of the support which is on offer.
