Additional rads - upstairs

Hi,
I have just completed the upstairs of a dormer bungalow and want to install some rads. Central Heating & boiler is all downstairs. The area is about 1100sq foot and split into two bedrooms and one bathroom. To install the rads, am l correct in that the pipework should run from one rad into the other, leaving two pipes (upstairs) , in and an out. These two pipes then have to connect into the central heating circuit downstairs. To do this l was going to tap into the pump outlet, beside the boiler. Effectively the circuit will then run from the boiler, to the pump, from the pump upstairs to the new rads, back down and around the downstairs rooms and back to the boiler. Is this okay?
