UTC Plymouth Open Evening – Friday 11th September, 4pm - 7pm
We are so excited to open our doors once again and welcome you into the UTC Plymouth community. This year, we’re doing things a little differently. After listening to our families, we’ve moved our Open Event to a Friday afternoon/evening to avoid clashes with 11+ exams, school visits and other commitments. We want every family to have the chance to explore our school.

How long will the Open Day take?
The visit is flexible but most families spend around 45 minutes to 1.5 hours touring the school, speaking with staff and exploring departments. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like.
Will there be more Open Events?
No, we love going all‑out for our Open Evening and because so much planning and effort goes into it, it’s an annual event. This will be the only Open Evening we host this year.
What can I do if I miss the event?
We really don’t want you to miss this. As mentioned above, we put a huge amount of energy into our Open Evening and it truly is the best time to experience the school. We can offer additional tours at a later date if you’re unable to attend but these are much simpler walk‑throughs and spaces will be limited.
