Our Governors 

Uplands Junior School became an academy on 1st April 2026 and is part of the Lykos Multi Academy Trust.  The school’s Local Governing Board is a group of volunteers who support the Headteacher in running the school. The board meets twice each term to discuss children’s progress and results, acting as a critical friend to the Headteacher and leadership team, in order to improve the school’s performance.

​

If you would like to contact Mrs Anslow, Chair of the Local Governing Board (LGB), please do so through the school; call (01902 558870), write to the school or send a message. The Clerk to the LGB is Ms Susan Poole, Services4Schools
