Hi Tinkers
Please can you PM me as well on this topic? Upton is our preferred school due to logistics, so I'm also slightly worried by the reviews mentioned above.
Thanks
I really wouldn't read too much into this.
I would like to have seen these reviews and have searched online but can't find any reviews resembling what the OP said.
Also not sure why the OP hasn't been back?
I have 2 DC at UCGS one in year 10 who loves it there and one who has just started in Y7 who again is loving it.
I did question DD again (Y10) about the new HT as she originally said he wasn't as nice as the previous HT (who was amazing and really brought the school up to scratch) and she says she has now warmed to him, she feels he has some big shoes to fill as the previous HT was quite a dynamic lady and very popular, she now feels he's the right person for the job.
As far as I am concerned it is a great school.
I have 2 very happy DC who enjoy going to school and are doing well both socially and academically, what more can a parent ask for!
