Jesus taught that we can be the light and encourages us to let our light shine for all to see, reflecting the light of God.
We believe that by working together, we can grow the very best version of Upton Noble Church of England Primary School and

By peeling back the layers of understanding we develop a greater wisdom of life; little by little, deeper and deeper and day by day,

When all our lights shine together anything is possible.
Our Christian values are at the core of everything we do.
They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
