Year 2 have been learning to think like scientists as they explored chromatography, carefully using pipettes to place a water droplet on an ink sample and watching the colours separate as the experiment unfolded. Along the way, the children were using their problem-solving skills as they tested and observed what happened and their speaking and listening skills as they discussed their predictions and results.

When our Pre-Prep children arrived this morning, the House Cup had disappeared and a note had been left behind by the thief. At Highfield and Brookham, learning is about curiosity, collaboration and discovering the joy of finding things out, so Year 1 took on the role of forensic scientists, using chromatography to investigate which teacher’s pen had written the message. By separating the inks into their different colours, they were hoping to identify the match and catch the culprit. But were they successful?

As our nursery children pulled buckets of balls on a rope or pushed wheelbarrows of bricks, they discovered an important idea: the heavier the load, the harder you have to work. A playful way to explore forces while strengthening balance, coordination and confidence, while also developing key skills such as teamwork, problem solving and staying positive when challenges get harder.

Our Year 3s took on the Great Smoothie Challenge with real enthusiasm! Using their teamwork, creativity, speaking and problem-solving skills, they worked in teams to create their smoothies. As they pitched their creations to the judges, the children shared their ideas with confidence and flair. Judged on taste, research, pitch, poster and logo design, teamwork and decoration, the competition was incredibly tight with just one point separating first and second place. Congratulations to our winning team and their delicious “Tropical Fruity Smoothie.”

Our Year 3s were buzzing with energy for the Great Smoothie Challenge! Working in teams, the children designed their own smoothies, giving them a creative name and an eye-catching poster. They researched the health benefits of their recipes, explored where their fruit ingredients came from and carefully prepared their smoothies to be tasted and judged. The teams pitched their creations to the judges, sharing their ideas with confidence and flair. Judged not only on taste, but on research, pitch, poster and logo design, teamwork and decoration, this was an incredibly tough competition!

We’re thrilled to announce that our LAMDA pupils have achieved an outstanding 100% distinction rate in their recent LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) examinations.

Preparing for LAMDA encourages pupils to think deeply, perform with confidence and communicate with clarity, skills that support them both on stage and far beyond the classroom. Read the full story here.

Our Year 8 pupils turned detectives today as the Biology Lab transformed into a full-scale crime scene. The victim? Stan the Skeleton.
Using their scientific knowledge and investigative skills, pupils worked through a series of experiments to analyse evidence and eliminate suspects. From examining clues to interpreting results, the session challenged them to think critically, collaborate effectively and apply their scientific understanding in a new context. Activities like this bring science to life, and show how the skills developed in the classroom, such as observation, problem-solving, logical reasoning and teamwork, are used in real-world investigations. The big question remains…will they gather enough evidence to identify the culprit and solve the mystery of Stan’s untimely demise?
