Headteacher’s Message

Thank you for visiting the Highfields School website which aims to give a flavour of life in our thriving and successful 11-18 comprehensive school.

Since joining the school in September 2018 I have been working hard with staff to inspire our students to learn about the world around them so that one day they might go out and improve it!

Our central purpose at Highfields is to be an inclusive, happy community that values every individual and inspires them to achieve their full potential. In searching for this potential we are driven by the challenge of our motto ‘Be the best you can’ and it’s my job to put in place the conditions required for students and staff to make this happen.

I am proud to be a part of the team at Highfields School and proud of the many and varied achievements of its students and staff. I promise to be uncompromising in my ambition for students, passionate in the pursuit of excellence, relentless in identifying areas for growth and positive about the exciting adventure ahead of us.
