About Us

Finchfield is a suburb of Wolverhampton. It is located on the south-west edge of the city.  The school itself lies in the Merry Hill ward but is also adjacent to Tettenhall Wightwick and Park wards.

​

 Uplands Junior School was opened in June 1970 as a three form entry Junior school. Since that time it has been a popular choice for parents and children. The majority of children transfer from the neighbouring Westacre Infants School, located on Finchfield Hill.

​

As Uplands has a larger admission number, (96 children per year group), than Westacre it also receives children from schools that are further afield. The school was designed to be open-plan but over time additional building work and extensions have meant that each year group is arranged as three ‘traditional’ classrooms with its own self-contained cloakroom and toilet facilities.

​

There is a separate school hall, dining room, Music room for small group teaching, small sensory room, Intervention teaching space (Study Station), PPA/meeting room and school library. The school is fortunate to have a large playground and field, bordered by mature trees and a school garden which makes an attractive outdoor environment for the children.
