Over the past few weeks, we’ve loved sharing our next chapter as Highfield School with you. Alongside our new look, we’ve also been thinking carefully about how we share school life here.
As the digital world evolves, we’re adapting our approach to sharing photographs and videos, …with the privacy of the children in our care at its heart. This means we’re moving away from publishing clear, identifiable photos of children’s faces on our public digital channels.
We know how much you love seeing your child in a school photograph. Those glimpses into their day matter, especially when they capture moments you can’t be there for.
You’ll still see plenty of life at Highfield here, as we find creative ways to capture the moments that make our school so special. There is so much to share, and we’re looking forward to showing it to you through a slightly different lens.
Please do take a few minutes to read our blog. This is an important change for our school community, and the article explains why we’re making it and what it means for the photographs you’ll see and receive.

One Story. One Purpose. One Highfield.

As we prepare to become Highfield School this September, we’ve been looking back at how our identity has evolved along the way.
Our logo has taken a few different forms, but the cross keys have remained a familiar part of Highfield for generations. And that isn’t about to change. …They’ll continue to be part of our story as we move forward. 🗝
Which of these logos do you remember from your Highfield days? Perhaps you still have one tucked away on an old school jumper, book or keepsake – we’d love to see your photos!
As for our new Highfield logo… all will be revealed tomorrow! 👀

There’s more news to share from Highfield as we look ahead to the next chapter in our school’s story. 💚
For almost 100 years, one particular building has changed and adapted alongside generations of Highfield children. Built as the school sanatorium in 1926, it later became our …junior boarding house – a place that holds many happy memories for pupils, families and staff.
From October half term, the building will begin its next chapter as Floreat House, bringing together support, wellbeing and enrichment for children across Highfield.
Its role may be changing, but the thread running through its history remains the same: caring for children and responding to what they need.
We’ve taken a look back at the building’s story, the memories held within its walls and what comes next.

Some brilliant advice from our Head of Learning Support and SENDCo, Leigh Fisher, who has been sharing her expertise with Netmums this week. 💬
With the return to school getting closer, Leigh has shared some practical ways parents can help children with SEND feel more prepared for the …transition back.
From gradually getting back into familiar routines to thinking ahead about sensory challenges, her advice is all about making those first days back feel a little more manageable.
“Support will look different for every child, so notice what is working, keep routines consistent where possible and work with the school to address concerns early.”
We’re very lucky to have so many people with a wealth of knowledge and experience here at Highfield, and it’s always lovely to see that being shared beyond our school community too. A big thank you to Netmums for giving Leigh the opportunity to do just that.
