celebrating our weekly house achievers

The new term and academic year has only just begun, but our students have already done a great deal to make us proud.

All of our students have impressed us with their renewed commitment to work and study, and to our school values and ethos, and we have been delighted to see our new cohort of Year 7 and Year 12 students settle with enthusiasm into UGS life and learning.

We are now excited to announce our very first top weekly house-point achievers of this year, the students who have been awarded the highest number of house-points within their respective year groups for their academic, extracurricular, and community achievements and efforts since the start of term.

Some are pictured above receiving their rewards from the House Team this morning;
