2021 WINNER!
School of the Year

Vision & Values
We inspire the Highfurlong family to be the best they can be
Our bespoke curriculum provides challenge in all areas of education and development for the pupils
We believe everyone can flourish in our warm and friendly school
Curriculum Overview
Our bespoke curriculum is an all-through education offer which is adaptable for students aged 2-19. Learning is engaging, fun, pitched at the appropriate level and provides a breadth of real-life experiences and opportunities to go beyond the classroom. The curriculum develops resilience and promotes healthy and active lifestyles. We aim to prepare students to be as independent as possible with knowledge and cultural capital to become effective citizens and successful in later life, their future learning and employment.
Leading School in EdTech for SEND
In 2020 Highfurlong was awarded EdTech Demonstrator School status by the Department for Education. Using the skill set and knowledge of the team we have supported over 80 schools nationally in their use of assistive technology to empower students with the tools to support lifelong learning.
