At Highfield, your child is valued for their individuality; nurtured to ensure they achieve their best; given every opportunity to grow in confidence, and expected to contribute positively to our school family.
We see education as a partnership between your home and our school. We provide an exciting and inclusive, happy and caring school in which we have high expectations for all our pupils.
We believe:
- We are always accountable to the children and will always strive to meet their needs.
- Together everyone achieves more.
- If it works do more of it; if it doesn’t do something different.
- A small change can make a big difference.
- To always look for solutions to issues and remember the problem is the problem, not the person.
- Looking positively to the future to help us move forward.

Our Latest Ofsted Report - we're very proud of all our inspection reports. Highfield has held a strong reputation for providing high quality teaching and learning for many years. Ofsted 2022 wrote "Pupils, parents and staff have a deep sense of being part of a school that feels like a ‘family’ which is excited by learning." Our most recent report shows that we have not only met the expected standards but exceeded them in many areas. Our pupils were described as 'behaving wonderfully' and we whole heartedly agree!
Schools Comparison Website Gov.uk - this site also allows you to compare schools' test results with other school's nationally - those that are both very different to Highfield contextually and those that are similar.
