A very warm welcome back to all pupils at Highclare School. We are delighted to be able to return to face-to-face education and see our schools full of happy, smiling people all eager to get on with their learning. We realise that this is a worrying time for many parents and pupils, especially our youngest…
It was a pleasure to ‘welcome’ so many families to our recent Virtual Senior School Open Morning . We received fantastic feedback from our attendees and hope you find the recording enjoyable and informative. The Highclare community still very much want to meet you and, complementary to our virtual activities, Highclare School feels confident to…
Good morning, Prep School family, Welcome to Tuesday! How are you all this morning? Did you sleep well last night? I slept like a log after two nights of very broken sleep (which is very unlike me!). I think I must have been so excited about coming back to school that my mind wouldn’t fully…
Although we are living our lives in a different way, the lighter evenings and warm weather are reminders that spring is around the corner, summer is not too far away and, following that, September and the excitement of a new academic year will soon be upon us.

Good morning, Prep School family, I hope you are well and defrosted slightly from yesterday! How cold was it? The weekend lulled me into a false sense of security and I thought that I could rid myself of my many layers of clothing, hats, scarves and gloves. Apparently not! Yesterday seemed even colder on the…
Good morning, Prep School family, Welcome to Monday and Welcome to March! I hope you have had a lovely weekend? Mr Bennett and I were treated to a spectacular bird show last night. We went on an evening walk whilst our dinner was in the oven and we decided to walk down to Holme Pierrepoint…

Good morning, Prep School family, Its Fri-yay! Well done for getting to the end of another week. There is light at the end of the tunnel, we only have a few more days to go of remote learning and soon we will all be back together in school. I am doing a very happy dance…
