Curriculum – North East Futures UTC

Key Stage 4

Your child can attend Year 10 at North East Futures and study a range of GCSEs and Technical Qualifications. All students will take Core GCSEs, Specialist GCSEs and non-examined activities. Students will then pick one technical award and one other optional GCSE. For specific subject information, see below.

Key Stage 5

Students will have 3 options about what type of study they’d like to undertake, whether that be more academic biased learning by 3 or 4 of our A-level courses, the more practical route by taking one of our BTEC options or a mixture of both. Our smaller selection of courses provides a focused entry into the health science industry and the computer industry.
