Welcome to the Senior School

“Everyone in the school is really nice and even a few months in, I could name everyone in my year group. You can ask your teachers about anything. There is definitely something for everyone at UCS – there will be a club for you, whatever you like. ”

“Leaders ensure that the school’s aims of creating a community that values each pupil as an individual, and providing an education that enriches their learning opportunities, is a constant thread in the daily life of the school. Lessons build on pupils’ prior knowledge and teachers adapt their teaching to respond to pupils’ questions. This enables pupils’ understanding to be taken to a higher level.”

“We love being here and it is so easy to integrate. It’s nice that our teachers really know their subjects so well – the staff and teachers are so friendly and ready to help. You also get more freedom, including for extracurricular activities, as you move up through the school.”

“The energy is unique. Pupils are inquisitive, enthusiastic to learn, and care deeply about their community. Pastoral care is the essence and this makes children feel supported and able to fulfil their potential in a way that makes our school special.”

“I had heard about a 'UCS atmosphere' and when I got here, I understood. You see everyone with a smile on their face and saying 'hi' to their teachers. It's a really nice atmosphere which hasn't changed through the years.”

“UCS is a wonderfully warm and caring environment with a first-class education. Both of my boys have studied here and they insist that if they have sons one day, they want to send them to UCS. That says it all!”
