Upottery Primary School
1st April 2011 by 4 Comments
About 125 years ago, Lord Sidmouth built Upottery School, providing free education for the village children. The distinctive building, with its single high-vaulted schoolroom and the adjacent Victorian schoolhouse, is very much a feature of the village landscape still.
Early Picture of Upottery School
It was built in the centre of the village for the local community and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, in the heart of the Blackdown Hills. The listed original Victorian building has been improved and extended to meet the needs of a modern curriculum, but the school retains much of its close family atmosphere.
Class of 1928
The football boots in 1933 look more like a challenge than an advantage and more than one of the boys in the picture looks like they are fully armed with a catapult in their back pocket! In 2011, they would be well in to their 80’s – time to own up lads!
The 1933 Upottery School Football Squad
We’d like to know more about this school and would love to know who these pupils are. Can you help us?

- Your information will form part of the website. This means that search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo! will be able to add this information to their search results. Your contribution might just mean a long lost relative being able to find their family history, from anywhere in the world.
