We loved seeing our Highfield families together for our annual bonfire and fireworks evening in support of Highreach Holidays. 🎆 Each year, our pupils make something to go on the bonfire for our house competition, and this year things took a mythical turn! The children created creatures in their house colours, giving our grounds team a tough job picking a winner. A big cheer for Agincourt! Huge thanks to our grounds and maintenance teams for the weeks of preparation, and to our catering team for keeping us fuelled throughout the evening (those churros were delicious!). As always, thank you to our families for your generosity. It’s wonderful to see our community come together, and we can’t wait to share how much we’ve raised for Highreach at the end of the week! ✨ #independentschool #liphookschool #charityevent #bonfirenight #fireworks

We couldn’t be prouder of our Year 8 pupil William 💛 A few weeks ago, he took on a demanding 21km challenge, completing a 14.7km run followed by a 6.3km swim and raising more than £1,000 for @charliespromisecharity. William was inspired after hearing Martin Cosser speak to Year 8 at Highfield about his son Charlie, who lost his life to knife crime. He chose to support the charity’s ‘21 for 21’ campaign, honouring Charlie’s memory and marking what would have been his 21st birthday. We think our Head, Mrs Cryer, sums it up perfectly: “For a young person to recognise another family’s pain and put so much effort into supporting their work speaks volumes about his character.” 🔗 Read more about William’s incredible achievement via the link in our bio. #highfieldschool #charliespromise #charityfundraising #pupilachievement #liphook

A little AC/DC in the Chapel? Go on then, Charlie! 🎸 Taking on Whole Lotta Rosie on guitar meant more than learning the piece. Charlie also had to create his own solo, planning how it would fit into the music and practising until he was ready to perform it. Plenty of preparation behind that moment in the spotlight! A huge well done to all our musicians who performed at Tuesday’s Year 4–6 concert. It was wonderful to hear such a range of music filling the Chapel! #independentschool #schoolconcert #youngmusicians #guitarplayer #liphookschool

What’s the secret to a perfect corner? Planning! Year 5 have been making mitre joins in DT, where two pieces of wood have to meet at exactly 45°. That means measuring carefully (then double, triple and quadruple checking!) before cutting and sanding. And as they found out, there’s nothing more satisfying than when those two pieces finally fit together! #independentschool #liphookschool #planning #designtechnology #woodwork

Think. Plan. Try. Learn. Adjust. Retry. Improve. 💪 We talk a lot about planning at Highfield, both in the classroom and out on the sports field. Whatever the game, we encourage our children to set themselves goals and work out how to get there, even when a curveball or two comes their way! With a busy half term of fixtures ahead, there’s so much more learning and improving to come. Bring on the season! 💪🏀🏉 #independentschool #goalsetting #schoolsports #rugby #netball

Andddd we’re back! We hope all our families had a restful half term break. Our children have returned full of energy and ready for the busy weeks ahead. Just this morning, our Year 7s have been creating their own pop art! They started by drawing their outlines, then used markers to make their designs pop and will eventually finish with acrylic paint. Great planning in action: setting a goal and working out the steps to achieve it! With lots coming up this half term, it’s a skill they’ll certainly be putting to good use! 💪 #independentschool #backtoschool #settinggoals #lifeskills #popart

There’s a particular sound a child makes when they find the right leaf. A little gasp. A “looook!” Then another, and another, until pockets at our Nature Crafting Holiday Club were bursting with leaves of all shapes and sizes. 🍂 Then came the magic! As the children looked closely at every curve and colour, pointy tips became ears, a pale edge a fluffy chin and suddenly a whole family of woodland creatures were looking back at them! A beautiful example of individuality. Don’t you just love them? #independentschool #holidayclub #naturecraft #creativeart #halfterm

One of the missions today at our Football Holiday Club was a game called Battleships. Knock down all of your own cones as fast as you can to win! Our young players were getting so close, but those last few cones were tricky! They had to figure out a new angle, a different foot or a softer touch. That’s creativity! When Plan A doesn’t work, you invent Plan B… and sometimes Plan C, D, E and F! #independentschool #holidayactivityclub #halfterm #creativethinking #schoolholidays
