Together we grow

Highfield and Brookham is an independent Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School in Liphook for boys and girls aged 2-13, nestled on the leafy borders of Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey.

We celebrate our genuine independence and prepare children for the leading boarding and top day schools. Not being answerable to a senior school or trust results in a strong sense of togetherness and a welcoming family feel. We work together with our children and their families to ensure the children receive the very best education possible.

Scholarship success

We have a flawless record of securing entrance to a child’s chosen senior school, whether at 11+ or 13+, and our scholarship success is further evidence of our outstanding academic ambition. Our children have been awarded an impressive 96 scholarships over the past six years alone to a diverse range of top senior schools, including Wellington College, Cranleigh School, Radley College, Marlborough College and Charterhouse, and include a huge variety of scholarships ranging from academic and art to sports and music.

Extensive grounds

Situated in 175 acres of glorious natural grounds in the South Downs National Park, on the borders of Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire, our beautiful estate provides not only a stunning backdrop for our Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep, but importantly is a wonderful place for learning. We are committed to making the most of our amazing grounds, as well as protecting and enhancing them.

Our teachers are an exceptional bunch, and their talents stretch way beyond the classroom. Today, Year 5 were treated to an hilarious and brilliant adaptation of the tale of King Arthur courtesy of Mrs Cryer, Mrs Baird, Mr Elgood, Mr Dunn and Mr Grech. NOTE: No teachers were harmed in the making of this production! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm

We couldn’t say farewell to the busy spring term without with an Easter egg hunt in the woods. But it was Easter eggs with a difference as the Nursery children, with a little help from their parents, sought out beautifully decorated and personalised paper eggs which had been carefully ‘hidden’ around the children’s forest school site. And having worked up an appetite finding their colourful eggs, the children were treated to tasty cheese and ham quesadillas! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #Easter

It doesn’t seem five minutes since they left for Prague on Sunday, but the Chapel choir have already packed lots of amazing things into their trip to the Czech Republic. They’ve had a guided tour of one of Europe’s most historic and beautiful cities, spent time being wowed at the interactive Museum of Senses, taken a trip up to the top of the observational tower at Petrin Hill and performed a wonderful concert in a neo-Baroque chateau in Zamek Slapy. And there’s still more to come before they head back home tomorrow! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #ChoralTour

We truly cherish that wonderful relationship between pupils and teachers… #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Our brilliant Year 5 and Year 6 children put on the most amazing adaptation of the weird and wonderful Lewis Carroll tale that is Alice in Wonderland. They spoke, sang and danced with real verve and panache as all their hard work over the spring term with Mrs Baird, our superb Head of Drama, paid off in spectacular style. We really can’t wait to see what the children get up to on the stage next! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #AliceInWonderland

At the end of each term, we love to celebrate the children who have contributed significantly to house competitions. And whether they belong to Agincourt, Trafalgar or Waterloo, think it’s pretty safe to say the children were delighted to be rewarded with a piece of specialist pastry chef Carol’s wonderful celebration cake for their efforts! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm

Some accomplished performances by our young violinists and pianists proved a fitting finale to our charming series of spring term lunchtime cushion concerts. It showed just how much the children have grown and developed under the expert guidance of Director of Music Mr Mühlemann and specialist music teachers Mrs Harman and Mrs Hall. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #Music #Arts

Our Year 8 girls signed off their football season in fine style with two excellent wins against our friends from @barrowhillsschool. After the Easter break, the girls will turn their attention to cricket as part of the school’s termly sports rotation. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm

Our boarders immerse themselves in wonderfully diverse, enriching, fun and engaging activities when the working week is over, and this weekend the children headed to Pallant House Gallery in Chichester with art teachers Mrs Houghton and Ms Pearson for a close look at an inspirational exhibition featuring work by renowned artist John Craxton. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #ArtExhibition

The cast of Alice in Wonderland, made up of our enthusiastic Year 5 and Year 6 children, have completed their first performance – and if the brilliant dress rehearsal is anything to go by then parents are in for a right royal treat over the next couple of days! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #AliceInWonderland

Think it’s fair to say that most of us abide by the rules most of the time, but on occasion breaking the rules can be very rewarding. Just ask our kind-hearted children who did exactly to that to raise more than £1,600 for Highreach, a charity which provides week-long summer breaks for disabled children. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #BreakTheRulesDay #HighfieldHighreachHolidays

Specialist subject teachers such as the lovely Mrs Houghton, our brilliant Head of Art, bring passion, experience and in-depth knowledge of their particular area of expertise. They bring the skills and a range of methods and techniques required to support children of all capabilities, including those who demonstrate a particular talent for their subject. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #SpecialistTeaching

Such is the extent of our children’s exposure to specialist teaching in the arts that you can visibly see their confidence rising day by day when they take to the stage to perform. And nowhere was this more evident than during our amazing house music competition on Friday, when solo singers, duos, ensembles, instrumental musicians and groups raised the roof and the decibel levels in the school theatre. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #Music

That magical moment when you get a wonderful round of applause after bravely performing in front of your peers and parents at a school concert. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #Music #Concert #SoloPerformer

Ten gymnasts have done the school proud at the Danes Hill School Gymnastics Festival, with Rosie H delighted to pick up silver medals in her age group for her floor and vault routines. The girls train regularly after school with coach Mrs Ogilvie, who said she was “extremely proud” of the way the team performed.

We’ve had the most amazing house music competition today, featuring brilliant solo singers, duos, ensembles and instrumentalists, not to mention the all-important ‘shout’ element where all pupils in their respective houses perform a big group hit. And the winner? Agincourt! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #Music

Our theatre reverberated to the sensational sounds of Samba and the rocking rhythms of Rio today as the excellent Jo from Dance Days gave our pre-prep children a dancing masterclass. The enthusiastic children learnt a series of key steps and body movements as they created a real carnival atmosphere. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #SambaWorkshop

Happy songs and happy children were the order of the day at our informal spring concert in the pre-prep today. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #SpringTerm #MusicConcert
