Welcome

Welcome to Uplands Academy

We are delighted to welcome you to Uplands Academy, an ambitious and forward-thinking school in the heart of Wadhurst village. Our vision is to provide the best possible education for all our students and to be an exceptional educational establishment for our community.

We understand that choosing a secondary school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your children and family. We take pride in working in partnership with our parents and carers to ensure that the young people in our care flourish.

At Uplands, we develop happy, responsible, well-rounded young people, equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence and self-belief to succeed in our rapidly changing, competitive and exciting world. Our broad and balanced curriculum, combined with excellent enrichment and strong pastoral support ensure that everyone is nurtured to excel. 

We know that empowering our young people to be actively engaged in their learning is one of the most significant factors in their success. At Uplands, students are supported and encouraged to Make their MARK academically by being motivated, articulate, resilient and knowledgeable, and socially by having excellent manners, being accepting, respectful and kind. These core values and expectations are reflected in the exceptional relationships that exist between our board of trustees, staff, students, parents, carers and the wider community.

We encourage you to come and see this for yourselves.
