Welcome to Highgate Primary School

Highgate Primary is a happy and successful two-form entry community school where there is great enthusiasm for fun and learning from both the pupils and a highly committed and experienced staff team. Adults are referred to by their first name and we have a no-uniform policy.

Music, art and whole-school performances, philosophy, science and sport are all highly valued and give our children many opportunities to shine. The Highgate Primary curriculum reflects our children’s interests and enables them to achieve standards of which we are extremely proud. The aim is for our children to move through life with confidence, excellent skills, good friendships and happy memories of primary school.

Parents are always welcome to come and visit Highgate Primary where they can meet the children and staff and find out more about our school.

Saracens scrum down at school

Children and teachers at school were welcomed back this week with a very exciting visit from international Saracens players Mouritz Botha and Carlos Nieto. This was the prize for winning the Wear Red Day competition in the Autumn, to raise money for the London Air Ambulance. Botha and Nieto gave an inspirational assembly describing how it feels to wake up on a morning you are representing your country (sweaty palms and emotional) as well as demonstrating a line-out thrown by William, and passing a ball over the heads of all the children in the hall. This was followed by a training session and a game of tag rugby in the playground. Good luck to the Saracens in their game against Gloucester this weekend!
