Welcoming Y6 families to Highfields School

Y6 families – choosing a secondary school for September 2021

As year 6 families will not have the opportunity to meet our amazing students and staff this year because we have been unable to hold our usual open evenings, we have provided a wealth of information on our website to help you decide if Highfields is the school for you (see details below).

We hope you have all enjoyed our videos and virtual tour, as well as the additional information and resources about Highfields. If you have not had the opportunity to look at our website, please follow the link below to our year 6 dedicated page to find out more: http://www.highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk/parents/year-six-information/

If you have any general questions please contact Mrs Green (Y7 manager) by email, who will be happy to help - tgreen@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk.

Applications for places at Highfields School are administered by Derbyshire County Council. To apply
