We have high hopes for our pupils, and this is expressed in our vision of “Making a Difference; To ourselves; To each other; To the World We Live In”. It’s important to us that children enjoy the time they spend here, but we also want them to achieve the very best they can. Our aim is to provide a learning experience that will help all children make rapid progress, whatever their starting point. We want to provide our children with the best possible start in life and help them acquire the skills, knowledge and understanding and ambition to prepare them for life beyond the classroom.
We want our academy to be a fun and exciting place where children thrive upon success. Ofsted recognised the school as ‘GOOD’ for the second time (October 2022). Inspectors praised Highgate as a safe, calm, and inclusive school place, where pupils are respectful, polite and leaders are ambitious for all their pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Pupils understand what the school value to ‘be respectful’ means, they listen to their teachers and are polite to staff throughout school, such as holding doors open for visitors. They remarked on how the school building is a calm and orderly place, in addition to how staff have:
- Introduced a curriculum that clearly sets out what pupils need to know.
- Minimised gaps in pupils’ knowledge due to COVID, teachers understand the importance of revisiting knowledge.
- Prepared Nursery well for Reception, especially in phonics. In Reception, teachers are described as well trained to teach pupils to read.
- Across the school, ensured pupils enjoy reading and borrow books from the library that they can continue to enjoy reading at home.
- Outside the classroom, enabled all pupils to access the improved range of clubs and activities on offer that develop their interests.
