Highfield Priory: a lesson in inclusion

Headmaster Jeremy Duke was delighted to receive the award on behalf of all the pupils and staff.

“The intention was to maintain our academic performance and create opportunities in other areas in which the children could thrive and grow.

As a result the children’s examination results have continued to improve, taking Highfield’s League Table position to 13th in the country in 2016, its highest position on record. The school has consistently been in the top thirty since 2011.

Last year’s Year Six Class entered Reception as Mr Duke began to introduce these changes and they have benefited from the increased opportunities, improved facilities and broader curriculum. Their final year at Highfield, the academic year 2016-2017, has been Highfield’s most successful year on record.
