What we’re up to…
Year 3 had a fantastic trip to Butser Ancient Farm this week. They stepped back in time to experience life as it would have been in the Stone Age, Iron Age and Roman times. From exploring ancient homes to trying out traditional crafts, the children brought learning to life in the most hands-on way. A brilliant day of learning and discovery. #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

In Year 8, our pupils embark on an exciting challenge – the Independent Project Qualification. Last week’s introduction session was full of curiosity and enthusiasm, with pupils eagerly exploring big ideas through Socratic-style questions and sharing thoughtful reflections of their own. Their first homework? To jot down five passions or areas of interest that could spark the beginnings of their very own project. And what better way to get started than with their brand-new Highfield and Brookham notebooks – the perfect place to capture ideas, inspiration and the journey ahead. We can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them! #TogetherWeLearn #TogetherWeAchieve #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdIndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Rain didn’t stop play on our Tennis course today. Under the expert guidance of our coach, Graham Holmes, the children took part in an action-packed session filled with fun games, drills and challenges. They worked on developing technique, coordination, movement, agility and speed – all while building confidence and teamwork. The session ended on a high with an exciting mini-tournament. The day was a fantastic blend of fun and skill development, with plenty of smiles despite the weather! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeThrive #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Our Bushcraft course is in full swing, with three days of outdoor adventure in our beautiful woodland. The children have been identifying wild plants, mastering fire-making, building bivouac shelters, learning how and where to hang hammocks, and gaining hands-on first aid skills. It’s all woven together with child-led learning, adventure and teamwork, building not just survival skills, but also confidence, creativity and friendships. #TogetherWeGrow #LearnOutdoors #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic young golfers at school today taking part in our two-day holiday golf course. Under the expert guidance of the Liphook Golf Club coaching team, the sessions were tailored to suit all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced players. The coaches cover everything from grip and stance to swing mechanics like rotation, weight transfer and balance. Through fun drills and on-course practice, the children explored different shots and techniques, building confidence and developing their own playing style. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
We were thrilled to see three of our Old Highfieldians graduate together this summer from the University of Nottingham. 2016 leavers Ben and Harry (Politics and International Relations) and Meg (International Relations and Asian Studies) have each achieved so much, and it was wonderful to hear from them. Even more heartening is how their Highfield and Brookham friendships have remained strong, despite attending different senior schools, a true testament to the lifelong bonds formed here. Congratulations to all three. #OldHighfieldians #AlumniSuccess #UniversityGraduation #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Old Highfieldian Harriet back to school! Harriet was with us from 2006 to 2015, and it was such a treat to catch up. We always love hearing from our alumni – discovering where life has taken them, what they’re doing now, and how their time at Highfield & Brookham has shaped their path. Harriet shared some truly heartwarming memories and stories from her school days, reminding us why so many hold their time at Highfield & Brookham close to heart. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeInspire #HighfieldAndBrookhamMemories #OldHighfieldians #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Our Senior Cookery holiday course was a recipe for success today! The children spent a wonderful day learning new skills under the expert guidance of cook Sophie Neish, with mouth-watering aromas drifting from the room. They cooked up a real feast, from a flavour-packed ramen to homemade pork dumplings, fresh cheese bagels and a summer berry drizzle cake. The best part? Their lucky families get to enjoy the results at home! #TogetherWeCook #TogetherWeGrow #LifeSkills #HolidayActivities #SchoolHolidayClubs #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
