Welcome Higham-on-the-Hill Church of England Primary School Welcome to our wonderful, village school Miss Elspass | Headteacher We are a small, rural, village primary school in the heart of England. We create a very warm and happy environment for everyone who learns, works and plays here. We have three classes and the class teachers are supported by learning support assistants.
Our school hours are 8:30am to 3:00pm. Our doors open at 8:15am to allow children a 15 minute window to arrive before we start our day at 8:30am. Our facilities are wide ranging. Every term we run a variety of clubs after school hours such as choir, FunStar and Multi-Sport Club.
We are blessed with extensive school grounds, including a large playground, ActivAll boards, a trim trail, and large playing field. These grounds are used regularly as the school has an outdoor learning focus. Our curriculum is exciting and engaging, with topics being enhanced by external trips and visitors to school.
From Year 5, children learn to play a musical instrument, receiving tuition from a specialist teacher who visits from Leicestershire Music once a week.
