We do not see our education as a set of parallel tunnels. We ask our pupils to make connections between their subjects, to develop a love of learning without regard to specific academic disciplines. We want our scientists to enjoy poetry and fine art; we want our artists to appreciate the wonder of scientific discovery.
Mark English, Vice Master and Academic Director
Curiosity and creativity are analogous to all learning experiences at UCS. The pursuit of awe and wonder in our daily lives enables students to explore, seek, question, imagine and innovate; gifting them the joy of learning across a lifetime.
Zoe Dunn, Pre-Prep Headmistress
Our broad range of societies, trips, competitions, academic enrichment and range of topics and tasks in the classroom provide opportunities for learners to develop skills such as inquisitiveness, collaboration, persistence and resilience. We encourage reading, critical analysis, identifying all sides to an argument and it is our aim that UCS pupils thrive in a rapidly transforming world.
