Key Insights From This Episode:

- The easiest way to look at it is we're funded, the same as any other state school. The difference is we are backed by industry partners. - Alex
- We've proved the model works and we've made UTC Portsmouth a real beacon of STEM in the local community. - Alex
- We currently engage with 11 local primary schools and we are really keen to expand that to secondary schools as our outreach program grows. - Alex
