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 vibrant and inclusive primary school serving our local community. We’re proud to offer a warm, supportive environment where every child is encouraged to grow, succeed, and feel a strong sense of belonging. Our aim is to provide a wide range of meaningful and engaging learning opportunities that help children grow into confident, independent, and responsible individuals - ready to flourish in any path they choose.

We believe in nurturing not only academic success but also the values that shape compassionate, forward-thinking citizens. Kindness, self-discipline, and a love of learning are at the core of everything we do. We celebrate diversity, champion equity, and ensure that every child feels seen, heard, and valued.

At Highfields, we’re always learning. We reflect on our practice, support one another, and strive to improve the way we teach and care for our pupils. We’re proud to be a team of progressive thinkers - educators who embrace innovation and are committed to equipping children with the skills, mindset, and resilience they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We also believe that mistakes are a vital part of learning. Children are encouraged to take risks, explore new ideas, and learn from setbacks in a safe and supportive environment. By embracing challenges and reflecting on their experiences, our pupils grow in confidence and develop the perseverance they’ll need in life and in any future career.

Our children are curious, imaginative, and full of potential. They benefit from a dedicated team of staff who are passionate, supportive, and always looking to grow professionally. We work together to raise aspirations, celebrate success, and create a culture where everyone can shine.

If you’d like to know more, I’d be delighted to offer you a tour. 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!
