Welcome to The Highfield School Website.

Highfield is an 11 to 18 co-educational comprehensive school set in its own extensive grounds in Letchworth Garden City. Our vision for the school is simple – we aim to maximise the individual potential of each student and ensure that whatever their ability level, students become equipped to meet the challenges of education, work and life. The school opened in 1965 and over the last 40 or so years has established a reputation as friendly, caring, well disciplined school with a strong focus on raising standards of achievement.

This year’s examination results were the highest the school has ever achieved with an exceptional Value Added score and 83% of students in Year 11 gaining at least 5A*-C grades.  Our 6th formers enjoyed equal success, with the vast majority of students gaining access to their first choice university.

We are a Science Specialist School and have Leading Edge status.  We also have the Silver Artsmark Award as well as the Healthy Schools' Award, Connexions Quality Award, Quality in Study Support Award, and Inclusion Quality Mark.This web site outlines some of the many aspects of our work. The school prospectus is also available on request and I would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. Please email (admin@highfield.herts.sch.uk) or telephone (01462 620500) and I look forward to sharing more information with you about the school and the progress we are making.
