Registrar’s Welcome
Welcome to Highfield and Brookham, an independent co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 2-13. We’re located in 175 acres of stunning grounds within the South Downs National Park in Liphook. We welcome families from across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey as well as further afield nationally and internationally.
Charlotte Cottrell
Registrar
I am Charlotte Cottrell the Admissions Registrar and I am delighted you are considering our school for your child. I am here to answer all the questions you have about the school, arrange your visits and child’s taster days. I will be with you every step of the admissions process to ensure it is smooth and stress free.
We are a non-selective school and we celebrate our diverse community. We welcome children of all abilities, nationalities and religions. It is this varied community that brings Highfield and Brookham its vibrancy.
Highfield and Brookham offers the breadth of education, the exceptional pastoral care and enviable facilities that many Prep schools in the area offer. But what makes us truly distinct is we are a genuinely independent school. We have been privately owned by The Mills Family for over 100 years. We are not answerable to a trust or a senior school which means we have a strong feeling of togetherness. We work together with you to ensure your child receives the very best education possible.
We regularly feed 30 senior schools which means your child’s educational journey is unique to them. Mrs Cryer has strong contacts with all of the senior schools and is exceptional at knowing every child. She will play a crucial part in finding the right future school for your child.
I know first-hand the quality of education that Highfield and Brookham provides. I am a proud parent of two Old Highfieldians. Still today, after all the years, they look back fondly and thank Highfield and Brookham for where they are today.
I encourage you to explore our website and social media for a full flavour of the extraordinary opportunities your child will be given at Highfield and Brookham. And don’t stop there, come and visit us and see the excitement for yourselves.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
Charlotte Cottrell

We were thrilled to welcome back Old Highfieldian Rebecca Lidh Faijersson this week. Visiting from Sweden with her family, Rebecca was excited to return to the school that she attended as an overseas pupil for one life-changing term in 1993. She spoke warmly of the lasting memories, friendships, and the positive impact her time here had on her life. It was truly inspiring to hear how Highfield and Brookham’s community continues to resonate with its former pupils, even decades later. #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

The Pre-Prep wellbeing garden was buzzing with life this morning! All the children’s hard work planting and caring for the garden has truly paid off, and it’s now a thriving hub of insect activity, full of colour and life. A real eco joy to see! As the children are on their school holidays, we thought they’d love to know just how much their efforts have blossomed. #OutdoorLearning #EcoJoy #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep

As our fearless Year 7 adventurers wrap up their unforgettable journey, we celebrate everything they’ve achieved. From braving new challenges and stepping outside their comfort zones, to forging friendships and spending a night alone on Survival Island — they’ve grown, thrived and risen to the occasion. They return in September not just as Year 8s — but as more confident, capable and connected young people. #AdventureComplete #SurvivalIsland #FutureYear8 #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
The show may take centre stage, but it’s the teamwork and camaraderie behind the scenes that make our productions truly special. We just love these pics of our amazing Year 8s supporting each other every step of the way in their magical production of Grease. #Grease #SchoolShow #BehindTheScenes #Year8 #Teamwork #SchoolProduction #BackstageMagic #IndependentSchool #TogetherWeGrow #TogtherWeEncourage
