We believe that it is important to celebrate achievements.  As part of our 'Good to be Green' behaviour and reward system, each week, children may be given a certificate, a gold letter from a member of staff or a certificate from Mr Dickinson or Miss James.  Here is a list of some of the children who have received an award this week:

ATTENDANCE

Sandwell Local Authority are funding vouchers for those entitled to income based free school meals in February Half Term. If you think that you may be eligible please go to:

If your child is in Reception – Year 2 and receives universal free school meals, this does not automatically entitle them to a voucher – they are issued to those in receipt of income based free school meals only. If you earn less than £16,190 per annum or are in receipt of benefits (Not Working tax credits) then you may be entitled to income based free school meals and should apply online.

For further details follow the link or contact the school office and ask for Mrs Clarke.

GOVERNANCE

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah Hartill and I'm a Parent Governor here at Uplands Manor, I have 2 children at the school.

My role within the team is to be involved with the curriculum side of the school. I meet with subject leads and get an understanding of how subjects are taught and ask questions to clarify any areas or support needed by the subject lead.

I first became a parent governor in January 2022 so am very new to this role. I became a parent governor because I wanted to be a voice for parents and to able to support the school.

My favourite thing about being a governor is seeing the passion, inclusivity and hard work everyone in school has for our children.
