Parent Testimonials

"It is not 'one of the' but the best school. I've had so much support from the team it's like a second home for my child. The school environment is full of warmth and love. The office staff are very experienced, always so receptive and prompt. The teachers have a keen eye and deal with every individual at their pace and yet nudge enough to encourage so they excel and develop at the same time. It's an all round approach."

Highfield Parent, 2023

"Highfield is a fantastic school, it is so reassuring to have full faith in the school and be fully content with the levels of safety provided for both of my children. The staff have been nothing short of wonderful from Nursery all the way through to juniors."

Highfield Parent, 2023

"The overall caring culture of the school is lovely. There is a lovely family feel as kids know everyone regardless of school year. Aim high is a great motto. The forest school area is superb."

Highfield Parent, 2023

"I believe the school has a great ethos. Every year there are new things that help my child's well-being. I like the way school adapts to the changing worlds around children- from internet safety to developing resilience and confident speaking."

Highfield Parent, 2023

"My child has been allowed to develop with support they need. Encouraging where needed and guiding. The way in which each child that attends this school leaves with such great manners and skills to go onto high school and outer world equipped. Great ethos in school"

Highfield Parent, 2023

"I honestly cannot speak highly of them [the staff] enough. They have all been wonderful, particularly the early years staff who have been incredible to both my children."

Highfield Parent, 2023

"I don't quite have the words to express how much our little boy loves going to nursery at Highfield. From his first day, he was surrounded with warmth and care, fun and play, and a brilliant learning environment, even having access to forest school twice a week. He has grown in all areas and we are so happy that he is happy. The staff are amazingly kind, generous and patient, and it's a testament to the quality of the nursery that most of them have been working there for years. As a family, we are looking forward to the rest of his Highfield journey."

Highfield Parent, 2024

"My little boy started nursery at Highfield Priory Nursery in January and by the end of the first week he was walking in with confidence. The staff are extremely nurturing and helped him settle in so well. As soon as we mention nursery, he gets excited which is a true testament to the team! He is doing so many interesting things and is learning so much already. The communication from the staff is excellent. I can't wait to see how much he develops in such a nurturing environment!"

The latest from Highfield Priory

Our nursery turned into a magical apothecary as the children created their very own nature potions using twigs, leaves, petals, and even bits of fruit! 🌿✨

With lots of mixing and mashing imaginations ran wild!

This kind of sensory and imaginative play is not only lots of fun, but it also helps develop language, fine motor skills, and creativity. We just love seeing their little minds at work!

Well done to our budding potion masters! πŸ’«πŸ§ͺ

🐴🌿 HOLIDAY CLUB TRIP TO PENNY FARM! 🌿🐴

Today we had the most wonderful adventure at Penny Farm, home to over 60 rescue horses and ponies! πŸŽπŸ’›

The children loved exploring the peaceful grounds, watching the horses and ponies relaxing in the fields, and learning all about the amazing work the farm does to care for these beautiful animals. We also discovered that Penny Farm isn’t just for horses β€” it’s a haven for wild birds, insects, and other local wildlife too! πŸ¦πŸ¦‹πŸ¦Š

A huge thank you to the team at @World Horse Welfare Penny Farm for such an inspiring and educational experience. πŸ₯°
