Parents/carers of current year 6 students

Welcome to Highfields School!

Over the coming months we will be in contact with all year 6 families coming to Highfields in September to ensure we can best help you smoothly make the move to being a Highfields student. We will think through all those issues and concerns you might have - What is the school like? How will I find my way around? How do I buy the uniform? What will happen with the buses?

Our school website holds all our key information and news, but really specific messages will come from Mr Allsobrook and parents/carers of year 6 students should all be in receipt of his welcome email through our Weduc communication system. Mr Allsobrook will be the year manager for year 7 in September and your first point of contact.

In addition to information sent via Weduc, we will regularly update this page of the newsletter with the latest information issued.

We look forward to working with families over the coming months to ensure that every student begins their Highfields journey as smoothly as possible.

Mrs Ruston Mr Allsobrook Head of Year 7 (September 2022) Year Manager (Year 7 September 2022)

Weduc communication system reminder
