Students rise to the
challenge at careers festival
On Tuesday 8th March, the
Rise Up Academy Careers
Festival took place at
Mulberry UTC.
It involved over 100 Key Stage 4 and
75 Key Stage 5 students from across
our Trust and we were privileged to
lead this prestigious event.
Students met colleagues from
high profile media and broadcast
engineering companies like Amazon,
BBC, BT Sport, dB Broadcast, ITV
and Sky. Our MUTC digital media
students then supported technicians
in setting up a live panel as part of
International Women’s Day.
Students across the Trust interacted
and networked with industry
professionals and developed exciting
connections which could impact
their future careers.

On Wednesday 9th March, our Year 11 Digital Media

issues in the news and how he
has learnt to present these in
short, straight-talking reports.
During the webinar, students
explored why trusted news
matters and the importance
of distinguishing different
sources and context in our
consumption of news.

During the spring term, MUTC Year
10 students have been learning rock
climbing skills at Laburnum Boat

Taster day huge success with the girls!
On Thursday 3rd March, we were joined by 30 Year 9
students from Mulberry School for Girls who took part in
a Mulberry UTC taster day, gaining experience in all our
specialisms through our practical, hands-on workshops.
It was a really fun, interactive day and it was a privilege
to host such engaged students!
We really hope some of the girls will join us in
September.
