Established in 2016, the institution was previously known as South Bank Engineering UTC and then South Bank UTC.

History

South Bank Engineering UTC was established as a University Technical College in September 2016,[2] with a capacity for 600 pupils.[3] The UTC was sponsored by London South Bank University, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Skanska.[4] UTCs are specialist 14-19 state-funded schools led by universities and industry sponsors. In line with other UTCs across the country, South Bank had a specialism aligned to a skills gap in the local economy. In this case with an engineering and health focus, sectors struggling to recruit sufficient staff in London with the required skills and experience.

A 2019 Ofsted report found that the UTC "requires improvement".[5][6]

In September 2023 South Bank UTC was re-registered as an academy sixth form, changing its lower age intake to 16.[7] The institution was renamed South Bank University Sixth Form, and continues to be sponsored by London South Bank University, as part of South Bank Academies.[8]

Academics

South Bank University Sixth Form offers A-levels, T-Levels and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.[9]
