Welcome
…to the Upton Hall School website.
We are a Voluntary Aided Catholic Grammar School for girls aged 11-18, maintained by Wirral Local Authority and situated in the Diocese of Shrewsbury under the Trusteeship of the Society of the Faithful Companions of Jesus, FCJ.
We have more than 900 pupils, over 200 of whom are members of our flourishing Sixth Form. We welcome applications for places in our Sixth Form.
Academic excellence is highly valued, with each pupil encouraged to develop her own talents to the best of her ability for her own sake and so that she can help to make the world a better place.
Upton has three specialisms designated by the Department for Education and Skills: Technology College, Language College and Training School status. We are also an International School with strong links with other schools across the world.
We are proud to be members of this community which includes pupils present and past, staff, parents and governors. Our extended community includes all those who work alongside us locally and internationally .
At Upton we try to live according to our motto "Age quod agis" , which means "Do what you are doing". For us this implies whatever we are doing should be done with our whole mind, heart and spirit for our own sake, for that of the wider community and to give glory to God.
If you would like to know more about Upton, please browse this site or contact us for further information or to arrange a visit.
