Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

Year 3 and 4 had an absolutely fang-tastic time at our Pumpkin Party! The hall was filled with spooky costumes, brilliant music and lots of laughter! Mr Shuffles kept everyone entertained with exciting games, dance battles and plenty of opportunities to show off our best dance moves! We were also treated to some delicious snacks and goodies, kindly provided by our wonderful Friends of Highfield. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the disco so special! There were so many amazing and creative costumes, and we all had a spooktacular time!

Year 1 enjoyed conducting some smell tests as part of our "All about me" topic. We discussed whether or not we liked the smell and had a guess at what the smell might be.

Year 4 have been having lots of fun exploring 4-digit addition without exchanging! We put our maths skills to the test with a practical dice game, using a 9-sided dice to create our very own 4-digit numbers before adding them together. With lots of exciting rounds and different challenges, we had to think carefully, use our place value knowledge and put our addition skills into action. What a fantastic way to make maths fun, interactive and full of learning!

Yesterday, we were delighted to attend the Music Champions Celebration, hosted by ArtForms, to celebrate the incredible musical opportunities available to children across Leeds. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful music coordinator, Mr Gath, Highfield was awarded the prestigious title of Music Champion School. This is an honour given to just 16 schools across Leeds this year! The celebration brought together headteachers, governors and representatives from ArtForms to recognise outstanding music provision in schools. We were treated to some fantastic performances, including a wonderful choir and exceptionally talented young musicians performing on the piano and flute. At Highfield, music is something we are incredibly proud of! From our fantastic choir and orchestra to our weekly singing assemblies, instrumental lessons and exciting music curriculum, our children have so many opportunities to discover, develop and celebrate their musical talents. Whether they are learning a new instrument, performing together or simply enjoying the joy of singing, music is a huge part of life at Highfield. A particularly special thank you must go to Mr Gath, whose enthusiasm, commitment and tireless hard work make so much of this possible. His passion for music ensures that our children enjoy a rich variety of musical experiences and opportunities. We are absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition and couldn't be prouder of everything we have achieved together. Here's to making even more music at Highfield! 

Reception and KS1 had a brilliant time at our Pumpkin Party!  A huge thank you to Friends of Highfield for helping to make it such a fantastic event.
