Following a recent consultation with all stakeholders, Upton St Leonards C of E Primary School will be federating with Nailsworth C of E Primary School. The two schools endeavour to officially federate on Monday 10th February 2025.
All children and staff were consulted on the final name and vision which Governors took a final vote on:
‘Heartwood Federation’– the name ‘Heartwood’ symbolises strength, connection and shared love and care between the schools. Heartwood is wood nearer the pith of a stem or branch, different in colour from sapwood.
‘Together, we place children at the heart; nurturing love, respect, and life-long learning.’ - this considers Nailsworth’s core value of community and both school’s inclusive nature; both school’s core values of love and respect; as well as our core purpose of learning whilst ensuring all decision making is child-centred.
We look forward to exciting future together.
Welcome to our School
We would like to offer you a warm welcome to Upton St Leonards C of E Primary School, a large two form village school set in the heart of the picturesque Cotswold countryside, but just a few miles from the city of Gloucester.
Upton St Leonards C of E Primary School provides a secure, caring and inclusive environment where children are able to flourish and be happy. Quality teaching leads to memorable learning and so excellent progress.
We are extremely proud of our school and children. The hard-working team of inspirational staff and governors are committed to sustaining the schools vision to continue 'building foundations for a love of learning, a love of life and a love of one another' for our children.
This integral vision and a set of core values is at the heart of all learning at our school. Guided by the Christian values and ethos that underpin our work here, we aim to provide the best possible education for every child, alongside outstanding pastoral care and support.
We strive to ensure high standards of achievement for children whilst equipping them with the skills to become responsible citizens and independent life-long learners. The key to our success lies in our passion and dedication to develop and nurture the whole child, to make sure they are happy and well-cared for individuals, ready to continue on their journey beyond our school through education and life. At Upton St Leonards, we are educating and preparing our children for the future.
Exploring the information on our website will provide a flavour of what life is like at Upton St Leonards CE Primary School, but we would encourage you to visit us to see the school in action, meet our staff and pupils and discover for yourself how your child could thrive here.
