Dear Parents and Carers

We have made it to the end of a long but fantastic term and we wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas from all of us here at Highfield.

Your children have had lots of fun in recent days, they have been brilliant and have so much to be proud of. I recommend that (if you don’t already) you follow our school Facebook page as it is the best platform to celebrate success and keep up with all of the great things that go on at Highfield. From Science experiments to artwork, school trips, job opportunities, sporting successes, ‘Highfielder shout-outs’ and much more – it’s all on there!

We have crammed so much into this term and our pupils are really benefitting from a rich and broad curriculum. We have had a fantastic day today, with a lovely Christmas buzz around the place. Pupils have been singing to festive classics in assembly and dancing to the latest sounds in our discos this afternoon. Recent highlights such as the Christmas carol services at St Mary Magdalene church, Christmas movie nights, ‘Make £5 Grow’ at The Spetchells Centre and ‘Highfield’s Got Talent’ have been enjoyed by all involved and very well supported by parents and wider families. Thank you to those who were able to join us, we really value working in partnership with our families as it leads to better outcomes for your children.

School reopens for pupils on Monday 6th January and we are already looking forward to working with our young people again in the new year. But first, time to enjoy the holiday! We sincerely wish each and every one of you, and all of our pupils, a healthy and happy Christmas. We have talked in school about how Christmas is a special time, to rest, reflect and show kindness to everyone, especially those we are closest to.

We hope your Christmas brings all of this and more.

Kind regards
Richard Oades
