Greater Peterborough UTC

Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC) is an Engineering and Built Environment specialist school for students aged 14 – 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
