Bringing out the Best
Based close to the centre of Peterborough, Highlees Primary School has a long and strong history of serving the local community and of teaching generations of families. We are a two-form entry school with children from Reception through to Year 6 learning in an environment that engages, focuses and inspires them to do well.
I am exceptionally proud to be the Principal here at Highlees Primary School. Our dedicated team of staff and the wider Trust, the Elliot Foundation, have one end goal; “Where children believe they can, because teachers know they can.” This reflects our conviction that raising expectations for all children and teachers is at the heart of a successful and inclusive society. Children are at the heart of everything we do and Highlees is at the heart of the community.
At Highlees, we aim to provide all pupils with a stimulating and inclusive educational environment in which everyone feels safe, respected and supported to grow and develop to their full potential and able to prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
We are committed to raising attainment in English and Maths, improving outcomes for ALL pupils by providing them with a range of high quality learning experiences through an inspiring, broad and engaging curriculum. We want our children to love coming to school, be active learners who are curious, enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their learning.
We work hard to involve families in all aspects of life within the school and are proud of our community work. We recognise our cultural diversity that makes up our school community, seeing it as a strength, which we celebrate at every opportunity.
Our website has been designed to provide you with some useful information about our academy and as a vehicle to share with you what goes on at Highlees Primary School. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
I sincerely look forward to welcoming you and your child(ren) to the School.
We will be delighted to welcome you to the School to share our vision and values, our culture and climate for learning and the aspirations we have for our community of learners.
Mr Chris Venables
Principal

Forest school This week the children made poppy wands for Remembrance. We each found a stick (checking it was as long as our arm and as thick as our thumb) and then used our fine motor skills to wrap wool around our sticks #earlyyears #forestschool https://t.co/A0Oy8KPOGZ
Design a Christmas Card Competition Create an A4 Winter Themed Picture. You can use paint, crayons, pencils or chalk. Do not use glitter or cotton wool. Write your name, age and school on the back and hand it to the cook. The cooks will then select their favourite 3 to send to us https://t.co/eb0WTW7nyi

Today in Forest School, we cooked toast on an open fire. Before we could cook the bread, we had to find some thin sticks. We learnt that fire needs three things - fuel, oxygen and heat. We kept safe by kneeling down and hold our bread on long sticks. Our toast was delicious! https://t.co/PTahZ4hnWM
