"In the early years setting, children make rapid progress from their starting points."
ISI Inspection Report, 2023
In October 2022, four teenagers broke onto the school site and set fire to our Nursery School. The news shocked the whole school community and left us reeling as we came to terms with such senseless waste and destruction. However, in true Highfield spirit, the school and wider community sprung into action to make the best of this terrible situation. Classes moved out of their classrooms and creating new spaces within school to accommodate our Nursery within the main building and staff worked tirelessly to make this possible; and pupils and parents (past and present) brought in toys and books and offered their comfort and support throughout.
The new building will contain areas for both Nursery and Preschool as well as a new outdoor area. This will allow for greater coordination and transition through the early years. We will be able to offer an improved sleeping facility and a wet room for the children to use after their muddy forest school sessions. We are looking forward to completion of the building. After months of hard work we are now in a position to showcase the plans for our new early years building.
We are delighted to announce our new Nursery and Preschool opening event on Friday 31st of January 2025. Join us at Highfield Priory School for an exciting chance to explore our brand-new Nursery and Preschool facilities. This event is a great opportunity to meet our staff, learn about our School and Nursery, and see the fantastic environment we offer for young learners. There will be various photographs of our alumni as we showcase Highfield’s rich history, creating a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with your former classmates and teachers.
The event will be divided into 2 sessions.
Session 1 - Prospective and Current Parents & Main Session 14:00 - 16:30
Session 2 - Alumni and Former Staff 17:30 - 19:30

We were channelling our inner-Banksy in Nursery this week as we practised some spray painting!
This was a fantastic, collaborative art work that helped us develop our hand muscles and pre-writing skills. ✍️
Great fun and a cool new skill! 😎 😃Photos from Highfield Priory School and Nursery's post
