Welcome to Highfields and our first ever Sixth Form Virtual Open Evening.

We hope you find the information provided to be useful in helping to inform your choice for post-16 education.

It is disappointing that we cannot welcome prospective new students into school to visit us in person. We always enjoy showcasing everything that Highfields has to offer, both at our Open Evenings but also during the school day, which is undoubtedly one of the best ways to get a real flavour of what life in the Sixth Form is like.

Without doubt, it is the people that we have the pleasure to work with that makes Highfields so special; fantastic staff and exceptional students who all contribute to the success of the school. We have tried to encapsulate this with the materials we have provided as part of our Virtual Open Evening. In particular I would recommend listening to what our students, both past and present, have to say about the school. There is no better way to learn about the student experience at Highfields than to hear from individuals who have studied with us themselves.

Additionally, you can find a copy of our prospectus and several presentations from members of staff about various aspects of Sixth Form life. We have also provided details about how to apply to Highfields Sixth Form, including a link to our online application form.

We hope you enjoy your ‘visit’ and look forward to welcoming you into school in the future.

Mr Pycroft - Head of Sixth Form
