Our vision at Highlands is to create a learning community where every child is at the heart of all that we do and say. We value the individuality of each pupil, acknowledge the worth of all that they bring with them and its impact on the life of the whole school. We understand that nurturing children's personal, social and emotional development has a positive impact on learning. We strive to do the best we can in everything that we do, and we believe that working in close partnership with parents and families will enable our children to achieve their full potential, both academically and as global citizens.
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all of our children at Highlands and the progress that they make academically, socially, and morally. At Highlands, we are proud to nurture and develop the children as lifelong learners. We look forward to seeing their future achievements as they move onto secondary education and beyond, where we know their successes will continue.
Our learning environment, which is safe, welcoming, and stimulating, promotes our vision of children's development into independent, lifelong learners with the skills to succeed in the future - persistence, resilience, effort, positivity, and self-awareness. An inclusive school, celebrating diversity and promoting respect for one another, we ensure that each child is valued and has a sense of belonging. We are a Rights Respecting School, putting the UN Convention on the rights of the child at the heart of our planning, policies, practice, and ethos, to enable children to develop as global citizens. We firmly believe that the UNCRC reflects the beliefs of our school community.
At Highlands, we have developed an exciting, creative, and immersive curriculum, giving pupils a meaningful and engaging learning experience. All our teachers work together to develop their planning, and weave all curriculum learning around outstanding core texts to provide learning that is exciting, memorable, inspirational, and dynamic.
