From the Highfield Hall Primary School
All students at Highfield Hall are expected to work hard, conduct properly, and be kind to one another. Children at Highfield Hall are content and proud of their institution. Every action we do aims to foster in the kids in our care the development of a solid moral code, an understanding of right and wrong, and tolerance for others. By doing this, we hope to promote the greatest aspects of British Values (see below). At Highfield Hall, we give the kids the chance to explore their artistic and athletic prowess as well as the more spiritual facets of life. Children will receive the cultural capital they require for success through our curriculum, which is also built on our guiding principles. Being a responsible, inventive, resilient, compassionate, emotionally and physically healthy, capable of critical thought, curious, and courteous citizen is one of these basic principles. We hold ourselves to high academic standards and provide the finest possible educational foundation for our kids. Children between the ages of 3 and 11 attend the busy, welcoming Highfield Hall Primary School. 410 kids are currently listed as being here. Our institution has been a school since 1930; it was originally a Georgian home erected by the Eyre family before 1800. We have an infant block that was opened in December 2001 and a purpose-built Nursery that was opened in 1989. Each child, starting in Year 2, has access to our on-site swimming pool. Two playgrounds, a sizable grassy area, allotments, and a gated nature area with a pond are all located on our lovely grounds.
