Welcome to Highfield Primary School.

We were proud to support the Lord Mayor of Leeds Charity Appeal - Just One Day, which this year raised money for local charity Leeds Mencap. In keeping with the theme, "Unleash Your Inner Superhero", pupils and staff came to school dressed as superheroes for the day. We were delighted to welcome the Lord Mayor, who spent time with our Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils before meeting with Key Stage 2 children. Our older pupils asked thoughtful questions and shared what they felt their own “superpowers” were. Their responses reflected the values we celebrate in school: “Spreading kindness… everyone deserves to be treated with kindness.” “Respect — it’s really important we treat everyone with equal respect.” "I'm wearing my Sunshine and Smiles T-shirt for my younger sister, she is my superhero." We would like to extend our thanks to the Lord Mayor for taking the time to visit, and also thank all of our families for supporting the day and for your generous donations to the Lord Mayor’s Charity Appeal. Your support will make a meaningful difference.

2H had a super morning, exploring artefacts from the time that Guy Fawkes and his men planned the Gunpowder Plot. We even used quill pens to practice 17th century writing.

Not only have 2F been dressed as Superheroes today, we also had a visit from Catherine. She talked to us about the Gunpowder Plot. We looked at lots of different artefacts from the time too. It was brilliant!

1W enjoyed making Valentine’s craft to round off the half term.

6BH made their Maths learning a collaborative experience today. Sharing knowledge and understanding is an important of learning, so we took it turns to share our ideas about some reasoning questions about fractions, decimals and percentages.
