Uplands is a school where each pupil is valued and celebrated for who they are and what they can do.  A key to the success of the school is how well staff understand the needs of every pupil. Leaders are determined that pupils are ‘engaged, enabled and challenged’ and ensure that the curriculum reflects this aim so that pupils can learn the life skills they need to support pupils towards being as independent as possible (OFSTED, 2022)
