About
The School
At
Upton there is a warm and friendly atmosphere where all staff
place the needs and welfare of each individual child at the
forefront of school life.
All
the staff are committed to providing a secure, happy and
trusting environment where children feel free to develop self
esteem, confidence and a belief in their own abilities.
 |
We
want children enjoy coming to school and to take home and share
their learning experiences with friends and family. Only when
children are happy and comfortable in their surroundings will
they be able to take full advantage of school life and develop
to their full potential.
|
Education
at Upton is based on firmness combined with praise,
encouragement, positive reinforcement and providing a stimulating yet
challenging curriculum for all.
| We also place enormous value on
the need of the child to develop socially and to interact
positively with those around them; to listen to and relate to
the points of view of others in a responsible way; to |
 |
| value
their own and other cultures and the right of others to their
own beliefs; to be honest, caring and trustful; to be tolerant
and understanding and to develop an awareness of the important
contribution that they can make to the community and the
environment.
|
We
see children as individuals with differing needs and strengths.
Our aim is to extend and support all children and help them to
achieve their full potential. We have high but realistic
expectations. We want children to give of their best, appreciate
what they can do well and what they could make better. We work
to give children a thorough grounding in basic skills; to
develop a lively interest and curiosity about the world in which
they live; to experience a wide curriculum that includes the
creative arts and physical activities, and to develop a love of
learning that will stay with them in later life.
