"Highly Recommend"

We were so impressed with Highfields Primary Academy when our child attended. The school's values of creativity and partnership really shine through. The PE and Sport Premium has clearly had a positive impact on the children's physical activity levels.

"Good School, Needs Improvement"

Highfields Primary Academy is a good school, but there are a few areas that need improvement. The school's website is not very user-friendly, and it would be helpful to have more communication from the teachers about what our children are learning.
