Enjoying and Achieving Together
At Highover, we are proud to be a welcoming, inclusive and ambitious school where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to thrive. We celebrate the diversity of our school community and recognise that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests and talents. We want every child to feel that they belong, that they are valued for who they are and that they can achieve great things.
Our teams are organised into Early Years (Reception), Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) and Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6). Across every phase, we have high expectations for learning, behaviour and personal development. We encourage our children to be inquisitive, independent and resilient learners who are willing to challenge themselves, learn from mistakes and strive to achieve their very best.
Kindness, respect and consideration for others are at the heart of life at Highover. We teach children to value themselves and one another, to appreciate differences and to work together harmoniously. Our staff model these values every day, creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel confident to learn and grow. We work together as a team, look after one another and take great pride in our strong sense of community.
Highover is very much at the heart of the community it serves. We place great importance on building positive, trusting relationships with our families and believe that children achieve their best when school and home work together. There are many opportunities for families to be involved in school life and support their children's learning, including book showcases, parent information sessions, workshops, learning reviews and ClassDojo.
Our motto, ‘Enjoying and Achieving Together’, captures what we want every child to experience at Highover. We believe that learning should be engaging, purposeful and something to be enjoyed throughout life. We celebrate achievement in all its forms and encourage children to develop curiosity, confidence, perseverance and a positive attitude towards learning.
Learning at Highover extends beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, giving children opportunities to discover new interests, develop talents and build confidence. These include sports, sewing, art, choir, orchestra, band, coding, homework support and yoga, with many more opportunities throughout the year.
We want every child to leave Highover as a confident, capable and compassionate young person, equipped with the knowledge, skills and positive attitude they need for the next stage of their education and beyond — and with many happy memories of their time at our school.
While our website can give you a flavour of life at Highover, there is no substitute for experiencing our school community first-hand. We warmly welcome prospective families to visit us and see Highover in action. We offer regular tours for children joining Reception, as well as personal visits for families whose children are joining us during the academic year.
We look forward to welcoming you to Highover.
