Welcome to Highfield!  

 

 

On behalf of the staff and governors I am delighted to welcome you to our school.

Highfield is a happy school, where children learn in a caring environment and all are valued.

We aim to develop creative approaches to learning where children are engaged, excited and enthused about what they are doing in school. We teach children to aim high and develop their individual skills and talents so that each child achieves their potential.

We want to instil in children a love of learning for its own sake and help them become confident, self-disciplined individuals capable of engaging in a lifelong process of learning.

 

Our motto at Highfield is C.A.R.E. and underpins our vision and what we believe is important.

 

 

Our School Vision

 

An inclusive school where we are all valued and learn in a caring environment. We are considerate of others’ feelings; we are thoughtful, kind and helpful; we show respect for our diverse community and for different points of view.

 

An aspirational school with high expectations of ourselves and others. We have a growth mindset, showing resilience and learning from our mistakes; we are problem solvers and critical thinkers who know our goals and targets and always aspire to be our best.

 

A school where we all take responsibility for our learning and behaviour and strive to be Ready, Respectful and Safe to become independent, self-disciplined and resilient individuals.

 

A happy school where enjoyment in learning, having fun and being part of the Highfield family helps us become confident and enthusiastic learners and sets us on the path to a lifelong process of learning.
