OUR SCHOOL
STARTING SCHOOL
WORKING WITH PARENTS
Before your child begins their Reception Year, a number of induction events are planned to prepare the children. We work in partnership with you to provide a sound foundation for your child’s schooling.
In order for your children to receive the best possible education we believe that it is essential for the school to work closely with parents. The children are given a home school liaison book. We also send regular newsletters via email and have a comprehensive website:
We also occasionally have availability in other year groups and an induction will be planned for the relevant year group.
www.uptonprimaryschool.education Parents’ Evenings: We encourage parents to attend two Parents’ Evenings each year:
• Before half term in the Autumn Term, you are invited
into school to discuss how your child has settled into his/her new class and the progress they are making towards their own curriculum targets.
• In the Spring Term we invite you to come into school with your child to discuss their progress.
We work in partnership with you to provide a sound foundation for your child’s schooling
• During the Summer Term all parents will receive a written report.
• At any time there are concerns we welcome the opportunity for discussion.

E A R LY Y E A R S Our School has both its own Pre-School and Nursery class which are a part of our vibrant Early Years unit. These are all within a modern and purpose built building and offer your children security and happiness. We take children from the age of 2 and offer all year round provision from 8:00am - 6:00pm. The children enter the River room at 2-3 years old moving into the Upton Nursery class from 3-4 years old. They then join the Reception class during the year they turn 5 years old, following application for the School.
K E Y S TA G E 1 Our Key Stage 1 unit is made up of classes 1 and 2. It builds on the firm foundation the children have experienced in the Early Years setting. Our curriculum covers phonics, reading, writing and mathematical development, encompassing the wide variety of other aspects through a theme based learning platform. The two classes are well equipped with a shared creative area, offering facilities for adventurous art projects!
