A Highfields education nurtures the confidence of every child to discover their talents and fulfil their potential within a caring environment.
100% 11 plus pass
In this atmosphere, a combination of contemporary teaching methods, traditional values, modern technological support, and access to a wide range of opportunities and activities enables the children, who benefit from working in small classes, to achieve high standards and to progress to the senior schools of their choice.
“The preparation for transition into senior school is outstanding.” ISI Inspection Report.
We are the only independent school in Nottinghamshire which actively prepares children for the 11+ examination.
More than just academics
The School is a successful, happy, lively, caring community that allows the children to experience a sense of pride and fulfilment that comes from working to their full potential. Basic subjects need to be mastered but children learn to react in different ways and need to be treated as individuals. Personal responsibility, initiative, good manners and smart appearance are encouraged.
Highfields is a family school with strong values and traditions. These have served us well in the past and we are sure they will continue to serve future generations of Highfields children equally well in the future. The School’s aim is that the children in our care should achieve the highest possible standards commensurate with their age and ability.
