A sixth form education at MUTC is most certainly not like still being in school.
This is the time when students are truly focused on becoming work-ready young adults, highly attractive to potential employers. Our curriculum is built upon this premise.
Our blend of outstanding classroom teaching, on-the-job learning and character building enrichment programme ensures students leave us well prepared to embark on a successful future.
We are able to offer an unrivalled practical education thanks to:
- Specialist staff who have worked professionally in the industry they now teach
- Outstanding facilities that offer resources, space and equipment you won’t find elsewhere
- An extensive partnership network that are committed to helping shape the future workforce
- A community of likeminded students who help support each other to develop
- An unwavering focus on employability, an ethos that runs through the entire organisation and the people that make it
Visit our ‘Apply to Year 12’ page if you are considering applying to MUTC or contact info@mulberryutc.org if you would like to visit for a tour or join us at one of our open days.

They are applying for a range of apprenticeships including childcare, business, TV and film and youth work.
