HIGHWOODS ACADEMY - VISION

Learning together,

Growing together,

Aiming High!

We believe that Highwoods should progressive, research-led and dynamic.

Highwoods nurtures curiosity and creativity through an inspiring, broad and engaging curriculum where learning is at the heart of all we do. 

It is a community where everyone feels welcome, valued, listened to, safe and secure, with mutual respect for all.

We are a school where all children are encouraged to express ideas and opinions,

to look beyond themselves, to be independent, where a lifelong love of learning is the norm

and all children reach their full potential, academically, socially and emotionally,

in a rich, inclusive, non-judgemental and supportive learning environment, providing high-quality education.

Our children learn to become resilient and self-assured.

Everyone is challenged and encouraged to thrive and achieve as individuals,

preparing them for their role as caring and active citizens.

A school that works in partnership together, valuing

the diversity and contributions of others.

A school that all children remember with 

pride and affection
