Our vision is to empower our children to become responsible, courageous and compassionate global citizens who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
At Upton Heath C of E Primary School, we strive to enrich lives by providing a supportive and nurturing learning environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential and to be the change they wish to see in the world.
Our Vision is rooted in Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), which teaches us the importance of having compassion for others, whatever their background; the courage to act when others choose not to; and to take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
