Welcome to Highfields Primary School

Whether you're a current pupil or parent, a former member of our school community, or simply browsing—it's lovely to have you here.

Highfields is a medium-sized school at the heart of our local community. We’re proud to offer a warm, caring environment where every child is supported to thrive. Our aim is to provide a wide range of meaningful and engaging learning opportunities that help children grow into confident, independent, and responsible individuals. We value kindness, self-discipline, and a love of learning—and we work hard to nurture those qualities every day.

We’re also a school that’s always learning. We reflect on our practice, support one another, and strive to improve the way we teach and support our pupils. That’s why we’re always keen to welcome and work with enthusiastic and committed professionals who share our values—people who put children first, enjoy working as part of a team, and are excited by the opportunity to make a real difference.

In 2000, we were fortunate to be part of a PPP scheme, which gave us a purpose-built school designed with our pupils in mind. Our facilities include:

• Bright spacious classrooms
• A large computing suite
• A spacious hall that can be separated into two spaces
• A welcoming entrance area
• Generous outdoor spaces for play and relaxation

Highfields is a friendly, well-established school with a strong sense of pride and community. Our ethos is rooted in care and consideration for one another. We take the time to listen, we celebrate success, and we work together to raise aspirations and improve outcomes for all.

We celebrate the qualities that make childhood so powerful—curiosity, excitement, persistence, and imagination. Our children approach the world with fresh eyes and fearless hearts. Our children are enthusiastic, well-mannered, and eager to learn—and they benefit from a team of staff who are passionate, supportive, and always looking to grow professionally.

If you’d like to know more, I’d be delighted to show you around. While our website gives a good flavour of what we’re about, nothing beats seeing the school in action.

We look forward to meeting you!

Mrs Tara Marshall
