Our Philosophy

Highfield Prep is a vibrant, inclusive, and collaborative school where high academic standards are upheld. Pupils enjoy learning within a culture of empowerment, discovery, and success. 

A culture of tolerance and respect is cultivated, and diversity is celebrated. All members of our school community are treated with kindness and consideration. 

Our STEAM-focused education fosters creativity, ignites curiosity, and encourages the discovery of individual passions and strengths.  

Highfield Prep Values

Empower– Discover – Succeed 

Pupils are empowered to become confident, resilient, motivated learners who take ownership of their learning, develop a strong sense of self, and a life-long love of learning and personal development. Teachers guide pupils to overcome challenges, to adopt a positive mindset, and to persevere. By embracing their strengths, pupils pursue their aspirations with determination and integrity. 

Pupil voice is actively promoted; pupils participate in decision-making processes that affect their learning and school life. 

Pupils are nurtured and encouraged to discover their passions and strengths within an inquiry-based learning environment. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and engage in hands-on activities.   

Pupils are enabled to succeed; achievements are celebrated within a supportive environment that enables the realisation of potential. Success is defined holistically, encompassing academic achievement, personal growth, and social responsibility. 

Teachers, parents, and pupils work together to create an inclusive, nurturing and collaborative community environment. Empowerment, discovery, and success are embodied in every aspect of school life.

“Highfield is the very best of schools. It has been perfect for our daughter and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s family culture sets it apart and it has all the right values. It is diverse, inclusive, teaches right and wrong from an early stage and aims to produce kind and clever girls who are aware of the world and care for the people around them. We did consider moving our daughter to be in the same school as our son for ease but we couldn’t do it!”
