History

In 1928 Uplands Preparatory School, a co-educational Anglican school, first opened its doors as a small farm school.

The decision to found the school was made on 31 May 1997. Land was donated by Mondi and R350 000 was received from the Anglo American Chairman’s Fund. The balance of the cost of erecting and establishing Phase 1 of the school was borne by individual parents in their determination to meet the growing need for quality education within the region.

Uplands College is located on a picturesque, 110 hectares (270 acres) estate just outside White River and continues historically to be a co-educational Anglican school.

Having opened the school in 1998 with 93 pupils, it has grown into an established centre of education with 502 pupils enrolled in 2015. Former headmasters include:

  • Dennis Maritz (founding head),
  • John Pluke,
  • Warren Boden,
  • Austin Clarke.
