Upton St James CofE Primary School

For more than a century, our school has served the local community.
We are extremely proud of our school, which has been referred to as a "beacon of hope" for local families.
The children's rights, as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, define our core values as a rights-respecting school and are summed up in Jesus' second commandment: "Treat others as you would want to be treated."
Our performance statistics, which over the last five years has exceeded national expectations in several areas and ranks us one of the top performing schools in Torbay, reflects our conviction that children learn best when their rights, emotional needs, and social needs are prioritised.
Our small school, which can hold a maximum of 105 students, is one of its strengths.
It means we are able to develop each kid's learning in a joyful, secure, and rights-respecting environment because we are familiar with each child.
Students have the tools they need to succeed.
They are well-prepared academically, socially, and emotionally for the next level of their schooling.
They claim that bullying is quite uncommon at the school.
The school received an excellent rating during our most recent Church schools inspection (in September 2019).
In this inclusive family school, everyone is supported and welcomed.
