The website, Twitter and Facebook are the best way of keeping up to date with school news and dates. Remember to check regularly for upcoming events and pass the information on to other parents that you know.

We understand that, at times, you may be unhappy with something that has happened in school which involves your child, and we are more than happy to help you.  However, the way that some parents have spoken to members of staff or other parents is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

If you have a concern about your child, please speak to the Class Teacher first then the Year Leader .  If you don't feel that this has resolved your concern, please contact Mrs Yeomans, the Headteacher's PA, via the school office or email headteacher@uplandsmanor.sandwell.sch.uk

Please also remember that the Receptionists are available to take messages but will not know what has happened.  Please just give them your name and number, the name and class of your child and a very brief description of your concern (e.g. behaviour incident/school dinners/learning).

Pupils who show exceptional behaviour for the majority of the week can be chosen to receive a gold letter.  Gold letters have been given to:

The highest attending classes during last week were: 

NAM 92.7%, RM 98.1%, 1W 98.6%, 2HW 95.8%, 3G 98.4%, 4JRB 99.3%, 5G 98.1%, 6T 95%

Late children: 165 children have been late 292 times.  This is extremely concerning.  Unless there is an emergency, children should arrive at school to start lessons at 8.50am.  Letters and texts have gone out this week about punctuality.  

We have a vacancy for a Parent Governor at Uplands Manor.  If you would like to know more, please pick up a nomination pack from School Reception.    

We have shared our uniform expectations clearly at the start of the year and the policy can be found on the school website.  Please remember that children must wear the correct school uniform and shoes.  If children wear boots on the journey to school, they need to bring black school shoes or plain black trainers to change into.  

Dates of all events happening at Uplands Manor can be found on the calendar  https://uplandsmanor.sch.life/Page/Calendar 

The dates for year group Christmas events are listed below. We hope you are able to attend your child's Christmas performance.  

Our Christmas Jumper Day fundraising will be on Wednesday 18th December to coincide with the Christmas dinner.  Children can wear a Christmas top or jumper for a donation of 50p.  Proceeds will be given to Save the Children.

FOUM Winter Wonderland will be on Wednesday 18th December at 3.30pm.

Classes will be holding a party day on Friday 20th December.  Children need to come into school in their normal uniform and will take part in lots of nice activities throughout the day.  There is no need to send in any food - school are providing popcorn and squash as a treat for children in the afternoon.

Parents' Evenings have been rearranged to Tuesday 14th & Thursday 16th January 3.40 - 6.00pm.  This is for parents of children in 1S only.

If you buy the Sun newspaper, please look out for the tokens which will be in the paper every day.  We will be collecting them till the end of January 2020 in the hope of collecting enough tokens to receive books as part of the Books for Schools giveaway.
