Welcome to Highams Park School

It is our absolute privilege to inform you of the outcome of our OFSTED inspection. As you will be aware from the previous letter sent to you about the whole school outcome, our Sixth Form has been judged to be Outstanding following a rigorous inspection process on 22nd and 23rd May 2024. This outcome is testament to the high-quality provision that is on offer in our Sixth Form, and the dedication of both our staff and students in ensuring that teaching, learning and enrichment opportunities are consistently of the highest calibre. As a Sixth Form, our philosophy of ensuring that we meet the individual needs of each student through a rigorous and broad academic and pastoral programme, which puts at its core high standards to enable students to flourish in the Sixth Form and beyond, has enabled great successes for the students who have entrusted their education with us. Students at Highams Park Sixth Form are valued, challenged and nurtured to ensure that they can progress to their destination of choice following the completion of their two years of study with us.
