Results Day is upon us for our Sixth Form students!

Take a first look at our brand new UCS school uniform.

We're excited to share these new photos showcasing our new uniform ahead of the new academic year. We can't wait to see students wearing our new look as it begins to be introduced from September.

UCS school uniform is available to purchase from Smart Clothing in Bolton or Whittakers Schoolwear.

The seagulls have joined us in Cleveleys while we have our lunch. YR10 geographers have been enjoying the beach after competing their fieldwork.

With the warm weather set to continue, all pupils can wear their PE kit to school from Wednesday until further notice if they wish.

Please ensure children come to school with a water bottle so they can stay hydrated throughout the day.

Thank you for your continued support.

🤖 Engineering the future at UCS!

Our Year 10 students have been putting their STEM skills into action with support from Holly, a Mechatronics student, as they work together to build and programme a robot designed to detect landmines.

The team has constructed the robot and is now programming it to take on a series of exciting challenges before competing against other schools at the university. Using coils of wire and eddy current technology, the robot is able to detect hidden metal, giving students hands on experience of real world engineering and robotics.

A fantastic opportunity to develop problem solving, teamwork and coding skills. We wish the team the very best of luck in the competition!
