Uppingham Community College An 11-16 Academy in the heart of Rutland. Kindness, honesty and respect in everything we do.

We are very proud of our College’s history and heritage, yet we recognise that we live and work in a modern, technological society. We believe strongly in a comprehensive ethos; promoting equal opportunities for all with a clear focus on the individual – recognising achievement and celebrating success. Independence of thought and creativity are encouraged, thus valuing initiative and enterprise. We have an established ethos of mutual respect between all members of the school community and maintain high expectations of conduct and behaviour. We are committed to the highest standards of education for all our students and have invested in staff, facilities and resources to ensure that they acquire the high level of skills needed to be successful in an increasingly technological world. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum which meets the needs of each individual and use a variety of learning styles to enable them to acquire the knowledge, skills and understanding which will allow them to develop into the citizens of tomorrow. At Uppingham Community College we put the student at the heart of everything we do. We provide a well rounded, holistic and happy environment in which they prosper and thrive.

đź’š World Mental Health Day 2026 đź’š

Today, 10th October, marks World Mental Health Day.

To recognise the day, we asked members of UCC staff to share some of the things they do to look after their own mental health and wellbeing.

From getting outside and staying active, to making time for hobbies, switching off and talking to others, sometimes the small things can make a real difference.

🎥 Watch the reel and see if there are any ideas or tips you could take away and try for yourself.

Everyone looks after their wellbeing differently — what works for you? 💭

Meet Discovery Digital Champion Steve Jones đź‘‹

Steve is a Maths teacher and Lead Practitioner at Uppingham Community College and is now in his 14th year working at the school.

This year, he is also part of Discovery’s network of Digital Champions, exploring how technology and AI can be used purposefully to make learning more inclusive and accessible.

For Steve, that could mean using text-to-speech tools to support pupils with dyslexia, captions for pupils with hearing impairments, translation tools for EAL learners or adapting digital resources to suit different visual and processing needs.

He’ll also be exploring AI, digital assessment and creativity tools - but with an important focus on finding out what genuinely works.

Throughout the year, Steve will test different approaches in his classroom, gather feedback from pupils and share his experiences with colleagues across Discovery.

And he’s just one of the Digital Champions we’ll be following this year - we look forward to further introductions!
