Working together to build individuals who will thrive and flourish. Explore Our School A warm welcome to Highfield CE Primary School Welcome to Highfield CE Primary School a very special school in the heart of Southampton.
We are a school that has strong links with our local church and believe that our Christian values of peace, courage and respect are at the centre of who we are and what we do. We serve a diverse community and celebrate and value how we all work and learn together in harmony. At Highfield, we have our children at the heart of everything we do.
We employ staff who believe that they are positive role models that can make a difference in educating the whole child, alongside parents as partners. We want time at Highfield to be positive and full of memorable learning.
Promoting the skills of lifelong learning means that children leave us as rounded learners that are resilient, reflective, can ask good questions and work well both independently and in teams.
