Lucy Carlisle Headteacher Uplands Academy

Welcome from the Headteacher

A community that lives, learns and laughs together

On behalf of pupils, staff and governors I would like to welcome you to Uplands Junior L.E.A.D Academy.

At Uplands Junior L.E.A.D Academy our aim is to become a community of life-long learners; we want children to strive for excellence, be aspirational, be confident, kind and caring and know that they are valued. Our Ofsted report in March 2019 affirmed that ‘Leaders are building a curriculum that helps pupils to build on what they already know.’

I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Uplands Junior L.E.AD Academy, the school has a great feel to it; our children value their education, are well behaved and polite. We teach the National Curriculum but are constantly reviewing and refining the way we do this so that the curriculum is the best it can be our children at Uplands. Children’s learning and development are at the centre of everything we do. Parents are encouraged to be closely involved in their child’s education.

We value the diversity of the backgrounds of our pupils, families and the wider school community and strongly believe in upholding British values through all aspects of our school provision. Learning about British values forms a key part of children’s spiritual, moral, cultural and social education.

We welcome visitors to our academy, please contact the school office if you would like to look round.

Mrs Lucy Carlisle

Headteacher.

Year 6 Step Back in Time with During the War Production

Year 6 had an amazing time watching a theatre production of "During the War"! 🎭 This exciting educational production took us back to what life was like for families in Britain during World War II. Through a mix of drama, humor, and delightful 1940s music, our students learned all about important events like the Blitz, blackouts, rationing, and evacuation.

This performance tied directly into our History curriculum, helping our children appreciate the challenges faced by people during the war while giving them valuable insights into everyday life back then. 🌟 The immersive experience truly sparked their curiosity and deepened their understanding of this significant time in history.

The children loved every moment and were fully engaged throughout the show! It was definitely a memorable and enriching learning adventure. 🎉
