| At Uplands we aim to provide a positive and happy environment in which all pupils feel secure, confident and inspired to learn. We provide a broad, balanced and stimulating curriculum which promotes the academic, social, moral, physical and cultural development of each and every child in our care. Pupils are encouraged to become independent and creative learners and to foster high levels of self esteem. Our small class sizes, with an average of 15 pupils in each class, ensure that each child’s progress is monitored closely and teaching is tailored towards the needs of the individual. The curriculum at Uplands is based on the National Curriculum but with additional subjects, and pupils are prepared for Key Stage Tests. Our teaching methods cater for a range of abilities, and performance in the Key Stage Tests is above the national average. |
