As part of their end of term treats, year 7 did a carousel of campfire with s’mores, crafting and a quiz.
Think there will be some Smokey and sticky children this evening after a lot of fun outdoors.

Merry Christmas everyone
So here we are at the end of a very long and busy term and we wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 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, charity events, sporting successes, ‘Highfielder shout-outs’ and much more – it’s all been on there in the last few weeks!
We have had a fantastic day today, with a lovely Christmas buzz around the place. Pupils performed brilliantly during our traditional rendition of ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ in assembly and really enjoyed a range of fun activities this afternoon. The Year 5 Christmas party was absolutely brilliant! Other year groups were engaged in movies, craft, fire pit sessions and more.
Recent highlights such as the Christmas carol services at St Mary Magdalene church, Christmas discos and our Christmas production of ‘Panto Pandemonium’ 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.
Your child’s end of term progress report is available to view in the reports section of the MCAS app, providing a current assessment grade, an end of year prediction and an ‘attitude to learning’ grade.
School reopens for pupils on Tuesday 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 spend time with the people we love.
We hope your Christmas brings all of this and more.
Kind regards
Richard Oades
