Highfield prep school House System

The House system is a really strong part of our culture at Highfield. When children join the school they are assigned to one of four houses and become part of that house community for the duration of their life at Highfield.  We always allocate siblings in the same house and houses are the focus of lots of activities within school from inter-house sports competitions and team building events and fun inter-house competitions.

Being part of a house gives children the opportunity to build relationships across year groups; develops a healthy rivalry; and provides opportunities for leadership for older children.

After School Care

We have a dedicated after school service available from 4-6pm each day. After school care is available on a regular basis or to meet ad-hoc requirements. For some families this helps juggle busy family lives, while for others it’s an opportunity for their children to complete their homework before leaving school.

We find that many of our children remain at school beyond the normal school day often combining our after school service with our many extra-curricular clubs and activities. Visit the Extra Curriculum section of our site for more information about the array of clubs and activities on offer.
