Schools are nothing without fantastic, dedicated teachers. They truly are fundamental to the delivery of the greatest education. Recognising this, we recruit only the very best teachers and employ subject specialists throughout Highfield and Brookham – not simply the most qualified but those with a true passion for their subject. We look for inspirational teachers who will ignite a spark in enquiring young minds. And we train and develop our teachers during their time with us to ensure we continue to be at the forefront of the highest standards of educational practice.

Our rigorous, structured curriculum includes a progressive programme of varied and dynamic content. Challenge is always at the heart of our learning and we inspire and motivate our children to become courageous learners, putting their heart and soul into everything they do. Children from Nursery to Year 4 benefit from a dedicated class teacher, with specialist teaching for PE, Music, Swimming, Art, Spanish and Forest School. From Year 5, children are taught by individual subject teachers who bring extra expertise to their classrooms.

We recognise that children need more than just a rigorous academic curriculum to succeed and we are committed to developing skills such as resilience, innovation, collaboration and building relationships. We give children the opportunity to learn and hone these skills everywhere, such as showing resilience running the muddy cross-country course, building relationships with their dorm friends, and working together in our extra-curricular activities. Such skills are as important as knowledge in today’s world, skills that will impress senior schools and future employers alike.
