Highfield Academy

 

Year 2 pupil - Our Castles work is exciting because we did some role play activities and we went to a real life castle.
Year 4 pupil - It's really good in Highfield because there are lots of kind children and teachers.
Year 6 pupil - Our lessons in Year 6 are amazing because you know you will always learn something new and interesting. I also love it when my work goes on the proud wall.
