hi, Currently looking at independent schools around the Hampstead area. Dh and I are both expats and are not familiar with the schools in this area. We are looking at schools for DS 5yo. Does anyone have children at UCS? Is it intensely academic more than focusing on the whole child? I do know it is quite academic and competitive but not how much so? We are not in the Uk but traveling over soon so cannot do a tour currently. Can anyone please advise? Thank you!
