Thank you for considering a career with us at Upwood Primary Academy. 

We are a thriving village primary academy located in Upwood, Cambridgeshire, deeply embedded within our local community. We pride ourselves on fostering strong relationships with families, local businesses, and residents as we strive for excellence.

At Upwood Primary Academy, visitors frequently remark on the joyful atmosphere and the enthusiastic engagement of both children and staff in the learning process. We proudly identify ourselves as ‘Upwoodians,’ reflecting our pride in being part of this vibrant academy community. Our beautiful grounds and surrounding areas serve as the foundation for the high-quality teaching and learning that characterise our stimulating and challenging curriculum.

Academic achievement is of paramount importance to us, and we are dedicated to ensuring that every child makes exceptional personal progress and is well-prepared for the next stage of their educational journey. We hold an unwavering belief that every child can and will succeed, academically, emotionally, socially, and creatively. Our aim is to encourage children to be “the best version of themselves” by adhering to The Upwood Way and embodying our core values of ‘Kindness, Resilience, and Curiosity.’ By fostering positive attitudes and a growth mindset, we prioritise the well-being of our children, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to the wider school community.

We are honoured to be part of the Thomas Deacon Education Trust (TDET), a collaborative network of academies that includes four primary schools, one junior school, two secondary schools, and an alternative provision school. Together, we share best practices and continuously strengthen our collective efforts.

As I walk through our academy each day, I am filled with a profound sense of pride. It is both a privilege and an honour to lead a team of professional, talented, and dedicated staff who deliver well-planned and organised lessons and activities, ensuring our children have bright and ambitious futures. Together, we ‘Work Hard, Dream Big.’
