Upton Cross Academy

Hello, and welcome to Upton Cross Academy. Our small school is positioned in the heart of Upton Cross village, on the edge of Bodmin Moor. We are surrounded by a wealth of mining history, farming, and glorious countryside including the historic Hurlers Stone Circles.

Learning outdoors is what our children thrive on, and we have an amazing 'Forest School' and beautiful grounds where our children can flourish in their learning both in and through the environment. Our curriculum is rigorous but exciting, ensuring that all our children are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful at secondary school and beyond, and living up to our school motto of ‘inspiring and achieving success for all’.

At Upton Cross Academy we aim to create a safe, happy and stimulating environment, whereby all members of the school community are enabled and encouraged to meet their full potential. Our Trust Core Shared Values and our Trust’s Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’ helps us remain focused on this and set out the guiding principles for life at our school.

Our school is a special place, striving to meet and exceed the needs of our local community. We would love for you to visit our school and see for yourself why we believe that our school is a wonderful place to learn and grow. If you would like to arrange a visit, please contact our school office team on 01579 362519 or send an email to uptoncross@kernowlearning.co.uk.
