Highfields School

The School Uniform Swap Shop is back this summer at St Columba’s URC!

Families are warmly invited to visit on selected Fridays and Sundays to pick up good-quality school uniform and PE kit. You can also request items via email for collection.

The organisation is also grateful for donations of clean, good-condition school uniform and PE kit during opening times. Your support helps local families and gives pre-loved uniform a new lease of life.

Please share with anyone who may benefit!

On Wednesday 20th May 2026, current staff, pupils and former pupils attended the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Celebration at Buckingham Palace, recognising their outstanding achievement in completing the Gold Award.

Hosted by Prince Edward as part of the DofE’s 70th anniversary celebrations, the event brought together thousands of award holders from across the UK.

We are incredibly proud of everyone who represented the school so brilliantly and should be proud of this fantastic achievement.

A huge congratulations to Molly and Pavneet from Year 8, who have achieved fantastic success with their football club, Sporting Khalsa, by winning the Under-14s VASE Cup!

This is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to their hard work, dedication, and teamwork both on and off the pitch. We are incredibly proud of Molly and Pavneet for representing themselves and their club so brilliantly.

Sixth Form are once again challenging staff! This time they aim to find out who the best badminton players are.

Be sure not to miss the exciting tournament after the half term break.

Another half term done and just one more to go before the Summer Holidays!
Of course, we’re not the type of school to end the year quietly…
Next half term is packed with exciting opportunities and unforgettable experiences, including trips to Legoland, Leicester Space Centre, university visits and Alton Towers!
That’s alongside awards evenings, Proms, Year 6 transition events, and so many more incredible moments still to come.
For now though, we hope everyone enjoys a wonderful break and a very well-earned rest. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for an amazing final half term!

For several years, Highfields has entered the Staffordshire Schools Cricket competitions from Year 7 through to Year 10, enjoying great success by regularly reaching semi-finals and finals. This year, both the Year 7 and Year 8 teams have continued that success by reaching the quarter-final stage following two very convincing victories.

The Year 7 team comfortably progressed to the quarter-finals, with Josh and Ashton guiding the team to victory without losing a wicket. The Year 8 team were equally impressive, scoring 122 in just 12 overs, including an outstanding unbeaten 44 from Nial. The bowlers then stepped up brilliantly to dismiss the opposition for 68, highlighted by a superb five-wicket haul from Aarav.

Congratulations to both teams, who will now look to build on this success in the quarter-finals after half term.
