Headteacher

Uplands School are looking for a leader who can continue to inspire, motivate and lead the school and build on it’s ethos of continuous improvement and professional development in order to achieve our vision and mission and ensure that Uplands remains an Outstanding School, as judged by Ofsted in July 2014 and again in September 2017.

Uplands School is a purpose built Partnership Funded Initiative (PFI) school co-located within a learning campus that also incorporates a mainstream primary and secondary, and a primary special school (Brimble Hill school which is also part of BSM).

Uplands caters for students aged 11-19 years with (SLD) (PMLD) and/or (ASC). Our students will often have additional complex needs. Attainment on entry for all our students is well below the national age related expectation and all our students have statements of SEN.

Uplands is part of the Brunel SEN MAT (BSM) which is a 0-25 multi-academy trust dedicated to supporting children and young people with a range of special education needs living in and around the area.  The BSM was established in March 2016, with the establishment of our subsidiary company, Brunel Education, it has 6 dynamic and successful SEND education provisions.
Each of our education provisions are committed to The BSM vision and have firmly embedded the core values of Aspiration, Integrity & Inclusion in all they do.

Family really is at the heart of all we do – both our children and young people’s families as well as The BSM family itself.

We want to ensure the long term future of Uplands School and to build on its successes and achievements We want to continue to provide our children and young people with an outstanding, stable and safe environment, where learning is inspirational and of success enables them to achieve more than they and others might have thought at the outset was possible.
