We prepare each pupil for the senior school of their choice and work together with families to achieve the best.
Although Upton is non-selective at entrance, we are an academic school and have high expectations for each child. Our girls have gone to the top senior schools in the country.
Our boys are following a very similar senior school path to our girls and sit assessments for senior school while at Upton. With options for entry into Year 7 in single sex and co-ed settings, our boys transfer seamlessly following their time here at Upton. For those who wish to board, we have partnerships with senior schools allowing time to explore boarding as an option before making such a step. We have already established relationships with Eton, Harrow, Charterhouse, Wellington, St George’s College Weybridge, Hampton Boys, Oundle and more.
