Students of key workers enjoyed a range of fun activities over the Easter holidays, including cooking, cycling, computer coding, drama, art and film making.
Highfields remained open over the Easter fortnight to support children of key workers, with teaching and administration staff volunteering their time to come into school.
Staff organised a variety of fun activities for students, whilst carefully keeping to social distancing rules in school. As part of the packed programme, students enjoyed an Easter-themed cookery day, creating and dishing up tasty hot cross buns.
On Easter Monday, students made dozens of face shields which have been donated to local healthcare workers. Click here for more information about that project.
Mr Tony Dean, Highfields’ Deputy Headteacher who arranged the programme, said: “Key workers are feeling the pressure at the moment, and it is our privilege to help those who need it by caring for their children at this difficult time.
“All of our staff who are able have volunteered to come into school on a rota basis to support the children of key workers.
“We really enjoyed putting on a range of activities over Easter to provide a little bit of cheer for students and staff during this difficult time.”
