Enrichment Activities

Pupils at Highfield feel safe and secure in their learning environment. Emphasis is placed on making all pupils feel supported in their learning; staff achieve this by ensuring that the school day is a positive, rewarding and enjoyable experience for every pupil. Through setting appropriate challenges and celebrating achievement, both within class and as a whole school, we aim to make every pupil a confident and inquisitive learner. As pupils progress through the school increasing emphasis is placed on pupils taking responsibility for their own work. By the time pupils leave Highfield we aim for them to be independent, confident, happy learners who have been challenged, stretched according to their ability and are ready to take on their next challenge.
