Newsletter Parents/carers of current year 6 students Welcome to Highfields School! Thank you for reading this and taking an interest in our school and what we are doing. We have thought about 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? We aim to answer these during this half term for you. Activity work and information forms must be returned by the deadline date to allow us to process the information to support your child. Thank you for completion of the four forms so far, we appreciate you doing this. There are three more to be sent out during the next half term so we would be grateful if you can continue to complete them promptly. We have sent out our virtual tour of the school to Year 6 students that the current Year 7s found really helpful as it enabled them to learn more about our school site. You should also have received the pastoral profiles of people who will be important to you. We will keep updating everyone through the school website, but really specific messages will come from Mrs Green, Year Manager for Y7 in September. Mrs Green will be your first point of contact and she will send emails through our Weduc communication system. If your family haven't received an email from Mrs Green, please email with your name and primary school so she can add you to our communication list (tgreen@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk).
