2022

This OFSTED visit took place on 12525 October 2022 and was a short, ungraded inspection. This confirmed that under all of the changes and raised standards of the new schedule, Upham School continues to be 缍Good缍. OFSTED reported:

"This is a delightful village school where pupils get on well with each other. They love having friends in every year group. The Christian values of 缍love and care缍 are at the heart of everything the school does."

"There is a strong family feel and a real sense of belonging."

"Pupils are happy, safe and well behaved."

"Governors and leaders want pupils to do their best and be highly successful. Pupils try their hardest to live up to these expectations. They want to learn."

"The curriculum is broad and ambitious for all pupils."

"Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They are skilled in teaching mixed year classes. Throughout lessons, they check pupils understand the task."
