What the school inspection says

“Pupils are proud of their school and actively commit to the core values of unity, curiosity, growth and service. Their behaviour is exemplary because of their positive attitudes and their dedication to education ... The breadth and scale of extracurricular activities are exceptional covering sports, arts, speaking, reading, cooking and debating … Leaders have created an aspirational curriculum. It is carefully planned, boldly ambitious and thoughtfully implemented … Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send) are sensitively supported and achieve well. High-attaining pupils are given extension work and inspired to deepen their knowledge … School leaders are committed to supporting all pupils to thrive and succeed.”

About the school

UCGS supports the development of students on four levels: intrapersonally, interpersonally, societally and globally.
Clubs offer musical, dramatic, artistic, sporting, technological and literary avenues to explore. There is also a range of thriving groups led by sixth-form students, such as the Female Lead and eco societies.
The PSHE curriculum includes once-weekly sessions using Lyfta, an immersive learning platform through which pupils visually visit different countries to experience other cultures and perspectives.
All year 12 students complete either the Extended Project Qualification or the English Speaking Board (ESB) Level 3 Certificate in speech. In the lower school, pupils can take additional mathematics (year 11), Arts Award (year 9) or instrumental music qualifications (years 7-11).
