Working with parents
Silverstone University Technical College provides an encouraging and supportive environment that nurtures ambition. Silverstone UTC also actively involves the parents of students and keeps them informed of their children’s progress and development.
We engage with parents so that ideas, input and feedback can be gathered and used to enhance and influence the development of the UTC. We are keen to make Silverstone UTC the best UTC of its kind in the country; with this in mind, involving the thoughts and feelings of parents is a top priority for us. We will also involve parents in specific projects as and when required. If you are a parent and would like to get involved, please contact us.
