“The school’s strength is its ability to recognise and support the diverse needs of all students.  This ensures barriers to learning are minimised.”                       Ofsted 2010     

We have a large staff group, both teaching and non teaching, at Highfield who are dedicated to the school, highly committed to the students and who fulfil their duties in a highly professional manner.

The quality of our premises and accommodation is excellent.  The range and extent of our resources and equipment is second to none.

We place a very high emphasis on the Care, Support and Welfare of our students in its widest sense.

“As a result of outstanding care guidance and support, students feel there is always someone who will listen and help.  One student expressed this by saying:  “I feel really safe here, everyone helps me”.                                                                                                                                        Ofsted 2010

Students achieve very good progress in all of the curriculum areas we offer.

Particular areas of expertise in the school are PE and Sport, ICT, Science, Art and Music.  Our students’ achievements and performance in these areas are acknowledged within the Local Authority and beyond.
