Parents’ Area
Parents form an integral part of the day-to-day life of our schools and this is where you can find everything you need to know about what’s going on at Highfield and Brookham. From accessing reports and ordering uniform via the Parent Portal to consulting the school calendar and pondering the latest sports fixtures, it’s all here for you at the touch of a button!
What we’re up to…
Commemorative plaques in honour of Highfield Centenary Bursaries Fund donors and beautifully hand-crafted by our skilled maintenance team will soon accompany the maple trees which line Chapel Field and Macs Field. Since its inception in 2007, more than 20 children for whom a private education may otherwise have been out of reach have benefited from the fund. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeInspire #TogetherWeOpenDoors #CentenaryBursariesFund #PrivateSchool #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #CountrySchoolEducation

As Highfield and Brookham blooms in the sunshine, we would like to say a huge thank you to our incredible gardeners and grounds team who keep the school looking so beautiful year in, year out.

What a busy day we’ve had in the woods. As part of a hands-on exploration into the brilliant world of bushcraft, the children have been finding and identifying minibeasts, arranging by colour the myriad flora and fauna found on the forest floor, learnt how to build and maintain a fire using a flint and steel tool and, of course, toasted marshmallows and made popcorn over the campfire! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeExplore #TogetherWeBuild #EssentialSkills #ForestSchool #OutdoorLearning #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Anxious parents will tomorrow discover if their children have secured places at their first-choice primary schools. While most will, some may not. If not, help is at hand, including the possibility of an independent school education. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #IndependentSchool #ReceptionClass #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #NationalOfferDay
One of the things that makes our holiday activities so popular is the amazing range of courses on offer. Whether you’re sporty or artistic, a stage performer or a woodland firelighter, a tech whizz or a touch typist, we really do have something for everyone. At the end of our courses, children leave with a much better understanding of their chosen subject, greater confidence, and armed with invaluable skills and techniques that they can use in and out of the classroom. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #SchoolHolidayActivities #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
We have an exceptional track record when it comes to the creative arts during term time, so there’s little wonder the children thrive during the holidays too. Today, Mrs Wilson, with her wealth of West End stage experience, put her young charges through their paces on the first of a two-day Easter holiday performing arts course; helping the children learn song lyrics and add accompanying choreography ahead of a special performance to parents tomorrow. And without wishing to give the game away, it really could be the greatest show… #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWePerform #TogetherWeInspire #PerformingArts #CreativeArts #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #EasterHolidayClubs #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire
The amount raised for the Highfield Centenary Bursaries Fund by the fab five runners who tackled last week’s London Landmarks Half-Marathon – school owner Bill Mills, Head Suzannah Cryer, Head of Pre-Prep Georgie Hunter and parents Sarah Bagshaw and Claire Kenwright – has now topped the £9,000 mark. Since its inception in 2007, more than 20 children for whom a private education may otherwise have been out of reach have benefited from the fund. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeThrive #TogetherWeLearn #Bursaries #HighfieldCentenaryBursariesFund #PrivateSchoolEducation #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Today has been a day full of woodland adventure, thanks to the team from @coryluscollective and our new Nature Days course. Specifically designed for younger explorers, from wild treasure hunts to chilled-out woodland crafts and story-time under the trees, it’s the perfect mix of adventure and calm. With the sun shining and our beautiful grounds bursting with life, the children were swinging on rope swings, hunting for creepy-crawlies on bug safaris, building epic dens and toasting tasty treats over a crackling campfire. #WoodlandWonder #OutdoorAdventures #NaturePlay #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCreate #TheGreatOutdoors #SchoolHolidayActivities #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool

We are excited to welcome the Assure Coaching team to lead the way with a jam-packed course full of exciting sports for an energetic and fun-filled holiday club. The team, made up of experienced coaches, have been teaching the children essential skills and techniques across sports, including football, cricket, basketball and hockey to name a few, along with fun games such as bench-ball and dodgeball. A great day has been had by all, building skills, making friends and growing in confidence. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Liphook #OutdoorLearning #SportForAll #TogetherWePlay
We had an incredible Senior Cookery course today. The group put their cooking skills to the test and got stuck in making delicious hot cross buns, Mexican molletes and carrot cake cookies. The amazing cookery teacher, Sophie Neish, shared her passion, knowledge and expertise, whilst passing on her tips to these future super cooks. All the children left with plenty of new skills and filled with cooking confidence. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCook #TogetherWeCreate #Cookery #SchoolHolidayCourses #LifeSkills #Liphook #PrepSchool
We are so lucky to have our very own golf course right here on our grounds, providing the perfect setting for another amazing holiday golf course with the talented coach, Harry Jafkins, Assistant Professional from Liphook Golf Club. It was such a pleasure to see the children, both beginners and more experienced players, diving into a variety of drills designed to enhance their game, along with one-to-one coaching. Every child left with a better understanding of the sport and improved technique. It’s clear that learning golf can be both enjoyable and rewarding, and we can’t wait to do it all again in the summer holidays! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWePlay #HolidayActivtyClubs #SchoolHolidayActivities #Liphook #Hampshire #WestSussex #Surrey #IndependentSchool
Five runners from the Highfield and Brookham community have raised almost £8,000 between them for the school’s Centenary Bursaries Fund, which can pave the way to a private education. The runners raised the cash during Sunday’s London Landmarks Half-Marathon. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeInspire #TogetherWeAchieve #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Things were definitely cooking in our kitchen today, with Italian Easter bread, Italian pizza pie and ‘Easter crazy’ chocolate bark all on a tantalisingly tasty menu. Our holiday cookery courses, run by the brilliant Sophie Neish, are always incredibly popular and, today, the children mixed, grated, rolled, sliced and diced to their hearts’ content to produce yet more amazing dishes. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCook #TogetherWeCreate #Cookery #SchoolHolidayCourses #LifeSkills #Liphook #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire
With expert tuition from the brilliant MJ and @sophie_billy_ of @assurecoaching our children have today danced up a real storm on the second day of our exciting new Dance holiday club. They worked really hard on the choreography of two high-energy routines featuring locking street dance and lyrical theatre dance before putting on a dazzling show for their appreciative parents. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWePerform #TogetherWeCreate #Dance #SchoolHolidayActivities #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Inspired by the onset of spring, we’ve had a brilliant start to our new Nature Crafting course. Under the expert eye of nature lover Hannah, from Corylus Collective, the children have tapped into their creativity and artistry to produce some amazing hand-crafted creations using natural materials, including beautiful Easter wreaths, botanically-dyed bags, clay birds and willow bird feeders, all of which the children can take home. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCreate #GettingBackToNature #NatureCrafting #ArtsAndCrafts #TheGreatOutdoors #SchoolHolidayActivities
Never missing an opportunity to take their learning outside, imaginative Year 3 saw the immense possibilities of turning our amazing woodland into their very own outdoor gym, which proved perfect for an impromptu gymnastics session to help keep their bodies and minds fit and healthy! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeStayHealthy #TogetherWeInspire #OutdoorLearning #SchoolsInHampshire #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Our intrepid quintet of charity runners have topped their £6,000 fundraising target ahead of Sunday’s London Landmarks Half-Marathon – but it’s not too late to swell the coffers of the Centenary Bursaries Fund further. Highfield and Brookham owner Bill Mills, Head Suzannah Cryer and Head of Pre-Prep Georgie Hunter will be joined by parents Sarah Bagshaw and Claire Kenwright for the 13.1-mile run around the streets of our nation’s capital, raising money to support our amazing bursaries programme, which offers a private education to children for whom it might otherwise be out of reach.

Whether they are in the classroom, the science lab, the music room, the DT block or on the sports pitches, our children are always learning – and that includes being outside in the playground. Our Pre-Prep children are blessed with a brilliant combination of green space and benefit-laden play equipment right outside their classrooms that they make full use of all year round, come rain or shine. There they can develop their gross motor skills and improve their balance, coordination and spatial awareness as they climb, swing, run and jump to their heart’s content, work on their teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills to negotiate tricky obstacles, and interact with their peers, brush up on their social skills and form new friendships. Who says learning can’t be fun! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #TogetherWePlay #OutdoorLearning #LearningThroughPlay #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #CountrySchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Underscoring the immense value of school trips, inquisitive Year 4 ‘evacuees’ took a step back in time with a fascinating visit to wartime railway The Watercress Line to add a new dimension to their spring-term studies on the Second World War. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #SchoolTrips #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #VoyageOfDiscovery #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #CoeducationalSchoolsInHamsphire #CountrySchools #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
