Uplands Junior School

Respect for All

Our Vision

Uplands Junior School is an inclusive school. Our vision is to create a safe, positive and stimulating environment in which all members of the school community learn and grow in confidence, knowledge and skills.

Working together, we want to nurture personal talents and discover new ones.

We want to build a culture of kindness and respect for each other, for our environment and for ourselves.

We want our children to leave with a sense of personal achievement and pride in their school and community, equipped with the emotional, social and practical skills for their next challenge.

Ultimately, we want everyone to be the best they can be.
