## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Highfields School is a Hidden Gem!: My child has been at Highfields for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are friendly, the facilities are excellent and the values of the school really shine through in the way the children are taught and encouraged to develop their own unique talents. We've had an amazing experience at Highfields and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great education for their child. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Bag: We've had a mixed experience at Highfields. On the one hand, my child has loved the music program and the staff are always friendly and approachable. However, I've sometimes felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. The facilities are also great, but sometimes feel a bit overcrowded. Overall, I would say that Highfields is a good school, but not perfect. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Wonderful School Community: My child loves going to Highfields and I'm so impressed with the school's commitment to providing a holistic education. The forest school program is fantastic and the teachers are always available to chat and offer support. The facilities are also amazing, with plenty of space for the children to play and learn. We feel so lucky to be a part of the Highfields community! *(Nov 2021)*
- **5/5** — A True Hidden Gem!: I was a parent at Highfields for 5 years and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I ever made. The school's values of Be Valiant, Aim High, and Achieve More really resonated with me and my child thrived in the supportive and inclusive environment. The facilities are also top-notch, with plenty of opportunities for the children to develop their interests and talents. I would highly recommend Highfields to any parent looking for a great education for their child. *(Jul 2020)*
