Ready, set… jump! 🤸
There's been plenty of airtime at our Gymnastics Holiday Club over the last few days! Cartwheels, vaulting, swinging on the bars – the children have thrown themselves into it, quite literally!
They've been trying out new techniques and building …their strength, and whenever they picked up a bit of advice from the coaches, they were straight back in there putting it into practice. Well done to our young gymnasts! 💪

Ready, set… jump! 🤸
It’s been an energetic two days at our Gymnastics Holiday Club, with lots of swinging from the bars, cartwheels and taking on the vault.
The children have been testing what they can do for themselves, picking themselves up after the odd tumble and going …straight back for another try. 🌟

💚 Highreach volunteer appreciation post 💚
Behind every Highreach Holiday is an incredible team of people who give their time to make the week possible. This year, 60 volunteers came together for our ninth Highreach Holiday, from first-time helpers to those who have been part of …Highreach every year since it began in 2018.
We’re especially proud that 20 former Highfield and Brookham pupils returned to volunteer this year, alongside current and former members of staff and many others who have become part of the Highreach community over the years.
A huge thank you to every single person who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm to Highreach this year.
We couldn’t fit all 60 of you into these photos, but this post is for every one of you!

And that’s a wrap on Highreach 2026! 🎸
Our ninth Highreach holiday has officially come to an end, and this year’s Rock & Pop theme brought a whole lot of energy to Highfield.
Of course, none of it would be possible without our incredible volunteers, who give so much …to make Highreach the week that it is. A HUGE thank you to every one of you!
Highreach 2026, you’ve been a blast. Same time next year? 🙌🏼

We’re incredibly lucky to have teachers who don’t just encourage our children to follow their passions, but lead by example too!
A huge good luck to our very own @sumattingly, who is representing South Africa at the World Cup Masters Hockey Championships. 🏑 Su and the RSA team play …their first match tonight.
Let’s give Su a big Highfield and Brookham cheer in the comments 👏

“Education is facing one of the most significant periods of change in a generation.”
Earlier this year, our Raising the Future conference brought together voices from across education and beyond to consider how we can better prepare young people for the world ahead.
The …resulting White Paper was shared with the Government, and now the Department for Education has responded.
It’s encouraging to see many of the issues we raised reflected in the Government’s plans for curriculum reform, particularly around digital literacy and preparing young people for their futures. But we believe change needs to happen faster.

The sound of drums echoed around Highreach yesterday as our Rock and Pop adventure continued! 🥁
The children proudly paraded a flag they had decorated earlier in the day, before raising it together to begin the celebrations. Everyone then joined in with the drummers, discovering the …power of rhythm and filling Highfield School with lively music!

Rock stars in the making at Highreach! 🎸
It was lights, camera action this morning as children stepped into the spotlight to film their own rock star music videos. We think there may be a few future headliners among us.🤘
