UTC Oxfordshire - Partnership UIpdate - Summer 2017
Welcome from the Principal
Dear all,
Our second partnership newsletter gives a great feel for the vibrancy of our summer term here at UTC Oxfordshire.
There
have been so many positive opportunities and achievements, many of
which have only been made possible by the consistent input and
contributions from many of our local partners and contacts - many thanks
to all of you who have played a part in that.
As we
look towards our first public examination results, we are delighted by
the outstanding destinations that so many of our students will be moving
on to - you can see some of their stories on our website and we are looking forward to celebrating with them as their places are confirmed after the results are out!
