The UCL Academy will recognise diverse forms of achievement. Students will be supported to gain qualifications – but success in art, cultural activities, sport, music and community service will also be celebrated.

The UCL Academy will offer a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities in all of these areas, facilitated in part through lively inter-household competition, and all students will be required to select a range of these activities as part of their programme of study.

There is an expectation that every student will undertake volunteer work in the community at some point during their time at the school.
