Uplands Foundation

Foundation Welcome

A school grows into greatness… when we plant trees under whose shade our future generations shall sit.

We believe in the power and value of education to change lives and change the world. Our vision is to be able to widen access to an Uplands education and enhance the opportunities available to our pupils. We will do this by providing the very best resources and facilities to enable our pupils to achieve their potential and ambitions.

The purpose of the Uplands Foundation is to nurture the spirit of giving and to raise funds.

“…be sure that every little deed counts, that every word has power, and that we can do, everyone, our share to redeem the world.” AJ Heschel – Every Deed Counts

Support Uplands

Philanthropy has long been a tradition at Uplands. Unlike many educational institutions, Uplands does not benefit from an endowment and we are therefore reliant on the ongoing generosity of our vibrant and unique community of parents, Old Uplanders, Board Members and friends. We are deeply grateful to all those who donate to this endeavour and continue this long-standing tradition.

Along with effective planning of fee income, we rely on the generous tradition of giving to achieve major developments. If you are able to, we invite you to contribute to the shaping of future generations.

Through an ambitious and inspiring fundraising and engagement programme supported by Uplands, the PTA and UPPA, we will focus our efforts on:

At Uplands, our unwavering vision is to nurture young minds, empowering them to reach their full potential and become self-confident, happy individuals who make a significant impact on the world.
