At Uplands Infant and Nursery School, our core purpose is to ensure that every child leaves us as a confident and fluent reader, writer and early mathematician, with a lifelong love of learning and the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to maximise their future life chances.

We achieve this through high-quality teaching and a carefully designed curriculum that builds on children’s strengths, responds to their individual needs and interests, and provides timely opportunities to close gaps in learning. Through this, we nurture resilience, curiosity and a positive mindset, enabling every child to thrive and reach their full potential.

The development of language is the golden thread that runs through every aspect of our school. Our children talk, listen and learn together every day, continually strengthening their communication and language skills. Our carefully designed learning environment is integral to the quality of our curriculum, inspiring curiosity and supporting high expectations for all learners. The characteristics of effective learning are woven throughout our curriculum, fostering the confidence, resilience and independence that underpin success in both learning and life. Beyond the classroom, a programme of enrichment opportunities enhances well-being, nurtures self-esteem and broadens horizons, helping children develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and their place within it.

At Uplands Infant & Nursery School, we provide a happy, warm and caring environment where every child feels safe, valued and ready to learn. We are committed to nurturing each child’s wellbeing, empowering them to become confident and independent learners, and enabling them to flourish both academically and personally. We encourage everyone to take responsibility for their actions and to show kindness, respect and care towards others and the environment. These values are at the heart of our school community and are reflected in our three school rules.

  • Be Kind
  • Be Respectful
  • Be Safe
