Jupp (Sapphire School of Gymnastics) comfortably won the junior women's all-around title over Welsh standout Angel Romaeo (Cardiff Central), 54.300-52.650. Charlie Fellows (Sandbach) won the bronze with 51.750.
Jupp, who won the bronze medal on floor last month at the women's Junior Europeans in Brussels, had the top scores on uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Fellows qualified first to the vault final.
"It feels really good to be crowned British champion," Jupp said. "I've made lots of improvements this year and it's paid off after winning the European medal and now winning the British title. I went on to the beam last up under pressure but beam has been one of my best pieces so I knew if I went through my routine clear I would be OK. The year's performances have really increased my confidence, I'm getting more used to performing in front of big crowd and to again compete well with huge support here in Liverpool has been amazing."
Baines (Southport YMCA) won the 16-18 division by half a point over Earls Gymnastics' Dominick Cunningham, 85.250-84.750. Junior European still rings champion Courtney Tulloch won the bronze with 83.850.
Baines won the most successful gymnast at last month's men's Junior Europeans in Montpellier, winning gold medals in the all-around, high bar and with the British team. In Liverpool Baines fell from pommel horse but had the top mark on floor, vault, parallel bars and high bar.
"I'm very happy to have taken the title," Baines said. "Everything went to plan apart from pommel but I've been suffering injury so it's not a massive shock. This continues a brilliant year for me and gives me massive confidence moving up to seniors next year."
Thompson (Exeter) scored 84.700 to in the 14-15 age group over Nile Wilson of Leeds (84.150), who was second all-around to Baines in Montpellier. Brinn Bevan (South Essex) won the bronze with 82.750. All three medalists were members of the British junior squad in Montpellier, where they won a third consecutive junior title.
"It's very unexpected to have won but I'm really happy," Thompson said. "I tried new routines on a lot of pieces and am really happy they came off today. To be named British champion is a very proud moment."
Competition continues Saturday with the senior men's and women's all-around.
