Uppingham Cairo
We are delighted to announce that Uppingham Cairo will open in September 2024, the first international campus for Uppingham School.
Situated on an 11-acre site in New Giza, a development outside of central Cairo and with remarkable views of the pyramids, this new member of the Uppingham family will be a day school for three to 18-yearolds, with a capacity of circa 1,500. A purpose-built school with superb attention to detail, we have every confidence that Uppingham Cairo will be the best school of its kind in Egypt. We have excellent local partners in New Era, with whom we have a shared vision for the development of the School, and there is huge potential for more partner schools in the region. As well as creating a revenue stream to help fund Uppingham’s endowment, through which countless bursaries will be funded, Uppingham Cairo will offer fantastic opportunities for pupils, staff and OUs who wish to spend time in Egypt.
Uppingham does not invest capital in overseas schools, but we do have a commitment to ensuring that every school that bears our name will reflect the values and philosophy of Uppingham in the UK. To this end we were closely involved in the appointment of the first headmistress in the Uppingham group of schools, Mrs Emma Webb, who will be leaving her current post in Jakarta to take up the post in Cairo in January. We are also delighted that Nick de Wet, known to many as the Housemaster of Brooklands and former Head of Biology at Uppingham, is to take on the role of Director of Admissions for our new school.
