What a brilliant day we have had with @mima_yb and @greatathletesuk ! The children loved the fitness circuit and Jemima’s message that when life knocks us down, we must get back up! A really inspirational morning - it’s not every day you have an Olympian in school 🥋.

What an amazing way to start the new school year with the report from our June inspection now published. We know how hard our staff work to make Upton a great school and how brilliant our children are but it is lovely for some of it to come through in the report. ❤️

A huge congratulations to Joseph, Frankie and Josie from Y5 whose pop up pages were judged and selected as winners by pop up book legend Jennie Maizels! #purposeforwriting #writingaudience #jenniemaizels @PieCorbett @MichaelRosenYes @vashti_hardy

Thank you to everyone who bought a book at the book fair back in March! We raised £400 to spend on books and this is just a small selection of the beautiful books going into classrooms today! .@YLBookshop book fair will be back at USL in the spring ☺️📚🎉.#childrensbooks #local
