In 2021, 55% of Y13 UTC leavers started higher education at university, compared with 50% nationally. 19% started apprenticeships, compared with 6% nationally.

Where the level of apprenticeship was indicated, higher starts (Level 4+) accounted for more than half (63%) of all UTC leaver apprenticeship destinations, 3x the national average.
