Our Romeo and Juliet cast immersed themselves in a Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation workshop, exploring the fundamentals of performance — from projecting their voices and owning the stage to engaging an audience — as they prepare for their forthcoming production at the Haymarket Theatre, Basingstoke. It’s wonderful to see their creativity, teamwork and confidence developing and we can’t wait for the finished performance. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex Anvil Arts
Painted nails, crazy hair, make up, trainers, hats, own clothes, temporary tattoos, jewellery, breaktime flashmobs. Whatever’s going on?

Year 5 are continuing their Victorian history learning at the Milestones Museum, exploring steam power and the impact it had on transport, industry and everyday life during the 19th century. Seeing a traction engine up close has helped bring this important period of history to life. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Bringing their history learning to life, Year 5 stepped into a Victorian classroom at @milestonesmuseum and experienced just how strict Victorian classroom life was. “Be seen and not heard. Only speak when spoken to. Hands behind backs” Thankfully our own Break the Rules Day is just around the corner! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Deep in concentration and powered by imagination.

Reception pupils are developing their balance, coordination and confidence by exploring the low beam.

We’ve had such a brilliant Burns Night celebration today, huge thanks to Mr Gunn. Kilts, bagpipes and a whole-school ceilidh, what an unforgettable day! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #BurnsNight #Ceilidh #ThankYou
Our nursery chefs have been busy making flapjacks today but it’s not just about sweet treats. From listening carefully to instructions, working together as a team to practising, counting and measuring, cooking is a hands-on way to build confidence, focus and creativity. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #EYFS
Getting into character at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where history came alive for our Year 6s, through hands-on learning and imaginative exploration. Trips are such a vital part of our curriculum as they bring learning to life and broaden experiences beyond the classroom. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #year6 #schooltrip
Quiet curiosity in action. Our Year 6 pupils explored the Carpenter’s Cabin at @phdockyard — connecting with the skills, stories and lives of the past. Trips are a vital part of our curriculum as they bring learning to life and broaden experiences beyond the classroom through real-life exploration. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #year6 #schooltrip
Looking back at #2016 reminds us that while some things naturally change, the heart of life at Highfield and Brookham remains the same. Some residential trips are still much-loved favourites, others have evolved, sporting opportunities have changed and grown and our facilities have continued to develop — but our commitment to knowing, supporting and caring for every child remains exactly the same. Were you a pupil in 2016? We’d love you hear your memories. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
