Welcome to the Junior Branch

“With the Senior School situated only a short walk away, our Junior Branch pupils have the opportunity to access the many impressive facilities available at Frognal. Our hope is that every pupil will eventually proceed to the Senior School, and the strong connections within the UCS Foundation help to ensure that this is a seamless transition.”

“Pupils show excellent self-confidence, resilience and self-understanding. They have a clear understanding of right and wrong; they show excellent self-discipline and are considerate and kind towards each other. Their social and collaborative skills are extremely well developed.”

“I think school is a fun place because there is so much to do here that I never get bored. I look forward to coming to school every day to see my friends, play and have lessons. I like Maths because I love to challenge myself and enjoy doing puzzles like arithmagons. ”

“Our boy has always been a good natured and easy child. However, he started the school very anxious and shy. He is now leaving as a confident, independent and talented boy. We could not have wished for a better school to prepare him for Senior School.”

“When I first came to the Junior Branch peer mentors helped me feel welcome in the school. They were boys in Year 6 were very kind to me. A huge part of UCS is Music and Drama and we have a concert in the Great Hall every year. The Year 6 play is breathtaking,”

“When I joined, I was drawn by how warm and welcoming the school is and by the happiness of the boys. Their passion for learning is testament to the high-quality teaching and to the boys themselves who thrive in this environment. The clubs, pastoral care and teaching are unparalleled.”

“The co-curricular clubs and activities range from football to chess to dance! I personally recommend the Mad Science Club as it teaches you so many interesting things! The classroom lessons are also great as you are taught by many brilliant teachers. ”
