SCHOLARS
SCHOLARS Overview
UPP&Out gives scholars the opportunity to spend dedicated time working in their scholarship area.
The bespoke programmes are designed to allow scholars to make individual progress in their specialism, whether leading discussion groups, developing their sporting skills, working on higher level design projects in the Leonardo, receiving professional music coaching or participating in drama workshops. The ability to work with other scholars across difering year groups helps you to build a sense of community and allows for mentorship between years. Sixth Form scholars will, in dure course, take leadership roles within each discipline. The schedule for each pupil will vary during the year, but at its core is the development of the individual.
Programme Structure
Academic scholars form part of the Leighton Group - an invite-only group of pupils who share a high level of academic rigour and curiosity. The group is divided between Humanities and STEM subjects to provide a programme tailored to the specialisms and interests of the scholar. Scholars work on research, internal and external essay competitions, seminars, presentations, experiments - in fact, anything that allows you to focus on your passions. Within the humanities strand, a series of seminars, led by subject specialists, requires pre-seminar reading and engagement from the pupils, whilst STEM scholars also can attend a series of lectures. In due course, further support will be given for potential university Mathematicians via the STEP programme in the Sixth Form.
Design and Technology scholars can develop their core design skills using traditional and modern methods. You are encouraged to focus on areas of weakness and given the support to improve and develop these to make you ‘industry-ready’ in whatever area of design and technology you wish to pursue. In future years, the Sixth Form scholars will run Production Creation sessions where they will be given the opportunity to mentor Fourth and Fifth Form pupils, allowing them to develop their leadership and problem-solving skills.
Art scholars are encouraged to develop and explore a range of media and application techniques. Specialist workshops and a focus on development of your interests and expanding upon what you have access to is encouraged. As you progress through the programme you will be given opportunities to lead in discussion and mentor students in the lower years.
Drama scholars are involved in the same programme regardless of age. The programme is a blend of specialised workshops and visits by professional actors who explore diferent types of theatrical performance. There is also space for scholars to prepare for Drama post-Uppingham Cairo through audition preparation and practice, dance workshops and production of their acting portfolio. Scholars also lead and promote the arts through work in the Junior School, allowing them to display their leadership skills and to create workshops of their own.
For Music scholars, the Upp&Out programme will provide an opportunity to come together in small ensemble work – playing chamber music, singing in bespoke choirs, exploring jazz, improvisation, developing music technology skills, studying composition and conducting, alongside performance practice and repertoire classes. Whilst the groups are coached by staf, scholars are encouraged to work independently during these sessions, engaging in higher level listening skills and undertaking the type of rehearsals that they would be involved in when studying music beyond Uppingham Cairo.
The Sports scholars’ programme ofers support and guidance as the scholars explore their path as athletes. This includes small group sessions with our professional coaches to improve both technical and tactical skills, mentoring to improve psychological skills, and workshops that are intended to help maximise potential. The whole-person approach allows for external speakers to discuss matters such as nutrition, sleep and breathwork. As the scholars progress through the School, the focus will move towards leadership, with the Sixth Form scholars not only continuing with their personal goals, explored in the Fifth Form, but also acting as ambassadors for Uppingham Sport as the athletes and coaches of the future.
For the Fashion Design Scholars, the programme is based around a series of workshop tasks designed to be accessible to scholars throughout the School, whilst still challenging them to improve their skills beyond the expectations of the standard syllabus. Scholars will often work on skills and techniques that would more usually be expected of an undergraduate pupil, thus helping them to prepare for future studies in the subject. Beyond these workshops, guest speakers and field trips are also an integral part of the programme.
Fashion Design Scholarships will be available from September 2025.
The nature of the Thring Scholarship means that many Thring scholars are involved in other scholarship programmes during the UPP&Out scholars’ time. However, regular meetings are held with throughout the year, and a whole Thring scholars’ session is scheduled at least once a term. The Thring scholars are encouraged to design, develop and then run a series of events and tasks throughout the school year, all of which encapsulate the values that a Thring scholar embodies – integrity, courage, responsibility, respect, kindness, ambition and curiosity
Thring Scholarships will be available from September 2025.
