Student Identification Card
Students from Year 4 onwards will be given an ID card, which doubles as a Library
Card.
Students who take the school bus must also bring along their ID cards.
Houses
The entire student population is divided into groups known as “Houses”. The
history of the names is derived from the period when the School was up on Penang
Hill. The House system is designed to encourage friendly competition, both
academic and sporting, but it also allows pupils of different age groups to socialise.
Each house has a colour as follows:
Crag House : Red
Hill House : Green
School House : Blue
Pastoral Care
For secondary students, a particular strength at Uplands is its pastoral system,
structured to care for the students as individuals. Each child will be placed in a tutor
group (a division of a Year group, a maximum of 24 students) with two Form Tutors
to each, who checks the progress and welfare of their pupils. There are also Pastoral
Heads of Year with responsibilities divided as follows:
Head of Year 13
Head of Year 12
Head of Year 11
Head of Year 10
Head of Year 9
Head of Year 8
Head of Year 7
