Uppingham Cairo

Uppingham Cairo is guided by the 'Four Marks of Character': Intellectual Confidence, Moral Courage, Leadership Through Service, and Resilient Self Direction. The school aims to cultivate independent-minded, morally grounded pupils who are encouraged to question, analyse, and think creatively rather than simply being told what to think.

The school offers a comprehensive British-based curriculum spanning from the Foundation Stage through to the Upper Sixth. Pupils follow pathways leading to IGCSEs, A-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The academic structure is divided into Junior School, Senior School, and Sixth Form, with a focus on critical analysis, communication, and teamwork.

The school maintains a dedicated Learning Support department that provides compassionate assistance for pupils with identified special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), including those with EHC plans. For pupils whose first language is not English, the school offers EAL support, including an 'English Plus' programme in the Fourth Form as an alternative to a modern language.

The school accepts applications for entry into various year groups, with specific processes outlined for prospective families. Scholarships are available for students demonstrating exceptional talent in academic, music, art, sport, and drama fields, with junior sports scholarships offered from Year 2. Candidates for admission must undergo English language testing to ensure they possess the aptitude required to access the curriculum.

The academic year is divided into three terms: Winter, Spring, and Summer. The calendar includes designated staff study weeks, public holidays, and half-term breaks, with the academic year typically concluding in early July.

Located in New Giza, the campus features state-of-the-art teaching and sports facilities, designed to be among the largest educational projects in Egypt. The school operates a unique Day Boarding model, with dedicated facilities supporting an extended school day that concludes at 7:00 PM for Junior School pupils and 9:00 PM for Senior School pupils.

The school provides a wide range of co-curricular activities and specialist sports academies designed to help pupils explore new passions and develop leadership skills. These opportunities encompass the arts, sport, and community service, all integrated into the school's extended day structure.
