UCS was founded with the vision of intellectual curiosity, breadth of study and independence of mind. This vision is as integral to the school today as it was in 1830. From its first days, philanthropy has played a large part in the shaping of the school, not only in the creation of its buildings, but also in the support it is able to provide through means-tested bursaries.
Capital projects
Our ambition is to transform our site and so to provide our pupils with the surroundings that match the education they enjoy.
- Pastoral care and wellbeing support are a vital part of what makes UCS what it is. We support our pupils throughout their time at UCS and we strive to ensure that we give them the tools to look after themselves and others, both throughout their school careers and after they leave. This project aims to bring together all of our wellbeing provision into one dedicated space, as well as providing quiet space and a place to call home for our Lower School pupils.
- Music and theatre are a key element of UCS school life, with around 150 pupils joining various ensembles, bands and orchestras each year. Theatrical productions are a central part of the calendar, with recent hits ranging from Oliver! to Lord of the Flies and The Illusion. We now intend to create a first-class performance and practice space, complete with a state-of-the-art flexible studio space.
