Highwoods Academy

Learning Together - Growing Together - Aiming High!

Vision

We believe that Highwoods should be progressive, research–led, dynamic and the hub of the community. Highwoods nurtures curiosity and creativity through an inspiring, broad and engaging curriculum, where learning is at the heart of all that we do. It is a school 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 collaboratively and in partnership, valuing the diversity of others.

A school that all children remember with pride and affection.

Our 5 values as agreed upon by the whole school community are as follows:
