Ron Dearing UTC is located on Kingston Square, Kingston upon Hull. It is situated next door to Hull New Theatre.

The UTC acquired a disused fire station next door to the college in May 2022 for conversion into the STEAM Studios, where students are to be trained in creative arts and engineering classes, raising the UTC's capacity by an additional 120 students.[3] The renovated building was officially opened on 29 September 2023.[4]

Education

Each day starts at 9:15 am and finishes at 5:15 pm. Depending on the students' individual timetable this may or may not be their start/finish times; this is the earliest start, and the latest finish. There are approximately 30 staff employed, who cover a range of subjects including Mechatronics, Electronics, Digital Technology, Creative Digital, Photography (Part of Creative Digital), Engineering, Maths, English, Sciences, and PE. Physical Education (PE) takes place offsite on Tuesdays due to site limitations and the lack of a grassy area or sports hall. These are lacking due to the location.

Extra-curricular

The school has an extra-curricular program called 'enrichment'. Enrichment includes activities such as Sports, Combined Cadet Force and various clubs. On top of this, there are a number of other clubs such as the board games club and electronics club that are run on separate days to enrichment.
