Vision, Ethos & Behaviours

We regularly update our vision, ethos and behaviours with pupils, staff and governors. 2019 was our latest review, and we spent time thinking about what Uplands meant to us. With a passionate and active School Council, we redesigned the board in our hall, and with all stakeholders developed our new behaviours and reclarified our vision and ethos. We also wanted our vision to be used with our Teaching School, the Forest Learning Alliance.

Our vision

At Uplands, our vision is for all to be inspired to achieve.

Our motto

Inspired to Achieve

Our behaviours

We are:

Respectful

Kind

Resilient

Brave

Motivated

Our School Council designed this in 2019. Initially, we wanted a symmetrical bird and one that looked regal, but one pupil said they wanted this board because “at Uplands, we are not perfect, but we are always soaring, trying to get a little bit better”. This resonated with Mr Sherwood and the School Council and we chose this design, as it fits so well with our motto of Inspired to Achieve.
