Year 7 residential trip highlights, straight from the group chat… 💬
Somewhere between damp and soaked the whole time, our Year 7s still managed to make the most of every moment in Scotland! They climbed Arkle, jumped from kayaks, explored the coastline and learnt survival skills …before putting them to use during their night on Survival Island.
Add in muddy boots, second helpings of lasagne, plenty of laughter and one surprisingly impressive apple tart cooked outdoors, you’ve got a trip they wont forget any time soon!

✔️ Two summits conquered.
✔️ One night surviving on their own.
✔️ Plenty of Scottish rain.
✔️ A week to remember.
Our Year 7s packed an incredible amount into one week in Scotland. They climbed Arkle, jumped from kayaks, spotted lobsters and starfish, learnt how… to build shelters, light fires and forage before putting those skills into practice during a night on Survival Island.
Throw in muddy boots, second helpings of lasagne, plenty of laughter and one surprisingly impressive apple tart cooked outdoors, and you've got a residential trip that won't be forgotten any time soon!

We're proud to share that Highfield and Brookham has been commended in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2026, in the Student Wellbeing category.
One of the core values at our school is 'Being You' because we believe every child deserves to feel comfortable in who …they are. That sense of belonging is behind everything we do, and this recognition is a reflection of the dedication of every member of our school community who brings that value to life each day: our staff, our pupils and our supportive families.
Congratulations to all the other outstanding schools who have also been commended and shortlisted. It's a privilege to be recognised alongside them.💙
