One Childhood: One Chance - Empowering Children Through Education

We welcome you and your child to Upton Junior School. I hope that it is the beginning of a long and happy association with our school. Our aim is, at all times, to ensure that every child makes the most of his or her abilities. Success is a great motivator and all children have the right to enjoy success.

Upton Junior School prides itself on our vision to ensure that every child reaches their full potential during their four years with us. This is made possible through the high quality teaching and learning that we provide.

Our passionate and talented staff team are key to achieving this goal. We share collective aims: we want every child in the school to be happy and safe; inspired and enthused to learn; and to experience a first-class education! We understand that all children learn differently and so we ensure that our lessons are engaging.

The environment that we provide for the children is welcoming, stimulating and supportive. Children are motivated by their surroundings and by the many opportunities provided. Our school is a positive place to learn and develop not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.

Our Viking Vision:

At Viking, we make sure that our ultimate focus and core purpose remains excellent teaching and learning for every child. Our teaching is progressive and adaptive and we strive for the best outcomes for all. We invest time and training into our staff so that they can invest their skills and expertise into our children. 

For children to thrive, they need to feel that they belong. Our people and our environments are warm and welcoming. Every member of our staff invests in building strong relationships with children and getting to know children well means we can focus on equity of opportunity.  

This means that we can prioritise social and emotional learning along with the academic as we know that children need to learn how to be resilient, to have healthy and safe relationships and to face the world with problem solving skills.  

We nurture children to become responsible citizens, ready to face the modern world and to make the most of their every potential both academically and socially. At Viking schools, we have high standards and expectations and we know how to support children to reach them.
