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.
We welcome applications to join our multi-lingual community that lives, learns and laughs together.

This week, we were delighted to welcome children's author Luke Temple into school for a fantastic day celebrating books, storytelling and reading.
Luke captivated pupils from the moment he began speaking. His sessions were interactive, funny and full of energy, keeping children engaged and entertained throughout. Through humour, storytelling and audience participation, he inspired pupils to think creatively and discover the enjoyment that can be found in reading and writing.
Many children were excited to purchase copies of Luke's books, and they were thrilled to have them personally signed by the author. This made the experience even more memorable and provided pupils with a special keepsake to encourage their reading at home.
Author visits play a vital role in helping children develop a lifelong love of reading. Meeting a real author brings books to life, allowing children to see the creativity, imagination and hard work involved in creating a story. These experiences can inspire even reluctant readers to pick up a book, explore new genres and develop confidence in their own writing.
We would like to thank Luke Temple for such an enjoyable and inspiring visit. The excitement generated throughout the school was wonderful to see, and we hope the experience will encourage many of our pupils to continue their reading journey and discover the joy that books can bring. 📚✨

On Wednesday, our Year 6 pupils visited the Remembrance Memorial at Victoria Park to pay their respects to the brave servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country on Armistice Day.
As part of this special occasion, children proudly carried poppy wreaths that had been carefully created by pupils across the school. During the ceremony, the wreaths were respectfully laid at the memorial archway as a symbol of remembrance, gratitude and hope.
The children represented our school exceptionally well throughout the visit. They conducted themselves with maturity, respect and dignity, demonstrating our school values at all times. Their thoughtful behaviour reflected the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils for the respectful manner in which they honoured this important occasion and for being outstanding ambassadors for our school. Lest we forget.
