Congratulations to all the Upton teenagers who have recently passed their exams with flying colours!
Special congratulations to Tim Traynor who is taking a Gap Year to travel and then is off to St. Marys, Twickenham to study Psychology and to Anna Hardy who is off to Bournemouth University to study Art.
Also congratulations to Kate Hardy, Georgina Traynor, Steph Davies and Zac Walker who have all done extremely well in their G.C.S.E.s this summer.
Our thanks to all those who turned up in not the best of weather to help with work on improving the safety surfaces in the children’s play area.
Unfortunately the work did not go to plan due to the unexpected nature of the existing surface. Having rethought our ideas we would like your assistance again in few weeks time to continue the work of improving safety in the play area and improving the usefulness of the ball wall.
It’s now a couple of years since the last makeover of the web site, and time and software has moved on.
Over the course of the next few weeks the site will be migrated to use new technology, which will hopefully make it easier to use for viewers and contributors alike. We hope to be able to keep most of the previous material, but please bear with us – with over 240 documents, 350 photographs, 560 events and 350 articles to move, there’s quite a lot to manage. Not to mention some exciting new features we hope to add…
Mary Gutfreund turned 80 on the 8th August, and to celebrate the occasion she brought in cake to the Drop-in session the day before.

A note of thanks from our ex-post mistress…
Just to thank everyone so much for your generosity, good wishes and friendship. The beautiful flowers, the tokens, the vouchers, the party and everything are truly heart-warming; and such a surprise. Without wishing to appear trite – I’m “missing you already”. It was not just the XX (not allowed to mention “it” was ever here) it was also the social side of things, the fun and the laughter. I feel quite sad that we have lost yet another amenity.
Again – thank you all so much.
Love Margaret Maytham ex Upton X mistress
