UCS education cannot be confined to the working week nor limited to the surroundings of North London. There are many opportunities for pupils of all ages to pursue their studies or enjoy recreational activities further afield. Linguists, classicists, students of art, geographers and historians regularly travel abroad with their teachers to broaden their educational experience.
Sports tours and music tours are arranged on an annual basis. Older pupils have the chance to visit our partner schools in Africa and India after their A-levels are completed. All of our Year 7 pupils are encouraged to join an activities holiday in the Summer Term.
Outdoor activities are increasingly popular. Regular hillwalking trips are organised. UCS students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and compete each year in the Ten Tors Challenge on Dartmoor as well as travelling further afield - to America, France, Spain, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Italy and Iceland in recent years.
