The Energy Coast UTC has landed an award for its employer engagement partnership.

The partnership secured the Best Industry Engagement Award at the Golden Apple Awards on Friday 04 October.

Principal Cherry Tingle said: "I am absolutely delighted that all of the hard work and dedication of our amazing staff team and employer partners has been recognised through these awards. They work incredibly hard and have committed themselves to making Energy Coast UTC the thriving, winning school that it is and will continue to be.


"Their support both for each other and the student body is reflected in the excellent results we receive, the fact that almost 90 per cent of leavers go on to apprenticeships and in our recent 'Outstanding' Ofsted result. Our winning employer partnerships with companies such as Morgan Sindall Infrastructure give students a solid foundation upon which they can build a career in the engineering field and beyond.

"Morgan Sindall Infrastructure's massive contribution to our UTC, including a range of employer projects and sponsorship has resulted in a very welcome and well-deserved win. Morgan Sindall Infrastructure work with students every week on real life projects. They also ensure students have valuable work experience that will help them gain apprenticeships."
