We have received complaints from neighbours around school about children running onto gardens and damaging property.  Please make sure that children are behaving appropriately and being considerate to local residents.

Please remember to send your child into school with a cardigan or jumper and a coat.  Please make sure they have your child's full name and class written inside so they don't get lost.

We believe that it is important to celebrate achievements.  Each week, children may be given a gold letter from a member of staff or a certificate from Mr Dickinson, Miss Copestake or Miss James.

If your child has done something special outside school - maybe they have helped someone or done something special.  Tell us so that the Uplands community can share in their celebration. Email headteacher@uplandsmanor.sandwell.sch.uk 

Some children are sent to the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher for a special award.  Congratulations to:

One of our pupils, Pavnoor, very sadly lost her aunty to bowel cancer in January.  Her family are taking on 34 challenges to commemorate the 34 years of her life.

On 23rd April, Pavnoor will be helping her family raise money for Bowel Cancer UK by taking part in a sponsored haircut - she will have 34cm of her hair cut off!

If you would like to donate to their fundraising, please click on the Just Giving https://bit.ly/3sm9SWZ 

Well done Pavnoor, we are very proud of you!
