At Upottery Primary, we continually strive for excellence, encouraging our pupils to become the best versions of themselves.
We believe that academic success goes hand-in-hand with character development, preparing our students for later life. Our goal is for children to leave Upottery Primary School with a solid foundation of knowledge, enabling them to be confident and articulate communicators who embody our school values. We believe this empowers them to make informed choices for their future.
Our broad and balanced curriculum is intertwined with our six core values and is further enriched through our collaboration with the Devon Moors Federation. Working closely with seven other schools in the federation, we create a knowledge-rich learning environment.
