UCS offers an expansive provision for pupils to learn new skills in our co-curricular programme which is as integral to the UCS educational experience as are classroom lessons and academic subjects. Indeed, the full integration of the co-curriculum into the life of the school is both fundamental and instrumental in developing young people who are ambitious to extend their achievements beyond the classroom.

Vibrant club scene

Alongside enjoyment of and participation in traditional pursuits like Music, Drama and Sport, we operate a multitude of clubs and societies as well as debating, Model United Nations, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Young Enterprise, which feed into the fabric of the school. In any given week you can expect approximately 80 daytime club possibilities.

Day trips and international trips similarly stretch pupils’ perspectives, as does the litany of careers talks and academic enrichment talks.
