The Upshire Primary Foundation School is pleased to have you. We appreciate your visiting our website and expressing interest in our institution. Since 1874, there has been a school in Upshire. Then, it was kept in a structure on the Warlies Estate. Since 1939, this location has been home to the current school. During this time, the buildings have undergone extensive expansion and modification. During 1989 and 1990, there was a significant renovation that involved redecorating and improving numerous amenities. The school serves students between the ages of 4 and 11, or the Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2. We have 233 kids listed right now. At Upshire, we come up with innovative ways to teach a curriculum that engages kids and fosters a desire for knowledge. We are a nice and friendly school, according to visitors. This website seeks to provide current information for parents, students, and the larger community while also giving you a sense of the school. We hope you enjoy your visit to our website and that you find the information that you are looking for.
