Welcome

One Childhood, One Chance - Empowering Children Through Education.

Happy, Safe, Successful:

Our children have four years with us at Upton and we are dedicated to making every moment count. Our high academic standards combined with the wealth of opportunities we offer mean that every child can explore their interests and talents to reach their full potential. Social and emotional learning is a foundation of our curriculum so that our children leave us as well-rounded individuals, prepared for the next stage of their education.
