“6th Form Closure”

unlock
"> Very upset that this school has closed it's 6th Form College after already accepting their own Year 11s! We were told just before the Christmas holidays, which led to a very stressful break, not only for us, but especially for our daughter, who suffers from anxiety. We accept that the 6th Form will have to close, but a phased closure including those who have already been accepted from the current Year 11s would have been a lot fairer. We are still now scrabbling around trying to find another college for our daughter after and many are already full. A little more thought by the current Governors would have been appreciated.
“Happy successful village comprehensive”

unlock
"> Uplands is a super little rural comprehensive with a lovely caring staff team. The curriculum is very broad and well planned, offering the highest academic standards and supporting those who need it. All children learn a great mix of skills and subjects including two modern languages, food technology, product design, Art, Drama and Music. English Literature is a particularly successful subject area. Pastoral care is a strength due to stable staffing which means many form groups have the same tutor for 5 or even 7 years. Uplands staff run a lot of extra curricular activities for the children, plenty of trips in the UK and abroad, good sports teams and fantastic drama productions. The school works with local community groups and takes part in the life of the village. There are bus links with most nearby villages and some families move into the catchment area. Parking is appalling!
