"A warm and welcoming school community"

We've had our daughter at Highfield for a few years now, and we've been consistently impressed by the staff, facilities, and programs on offer. The school's emphasis on community and inclusivity really shines through, and we've noticed a huge difference in her confidence and love of learning.

"Some positives and areas for improvement"

We've been pleased with the progress our son has made at Highfield, but we've sometimes found communication with the teachers to be a bit patchy. On the other hand, the school's emphasis on wellbeing and mental health is a great asset, and we appreciate the efforts made to keep us informed about our child's progress.

"Highfield sets a high bar for primary schools"

Our family moved away, but our son remained at Highfield until the end of Year 6. The school's commitment to supporting children with SEND was a major factor in our decision to stay, and we were consistently impressed by the adaptability and creativity of the teaching staff.
