South Farnham Educational Trust is delighted to share that Highfield South Farnham has maintained its Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rating, reaffirming the school’s continual pursuit of excellence for all learners in its care and community.
The inspection team summarised, ‘The school has exceptionally high expectations for pupils’ achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This leads to all pupils achieving significantly well across the curriculum, including in end of key stage assessments. There is a culture of ambition and high aspiration that permeates the school. Pupils thrive in the caring and nurturing school community.’

Gregory West, Headteacher at Highfield South Farnham commented, “Ofsted's recognition of our school as "Outstanding" is a reflection of the outstanding teaching, exceptional support and nurturing environment that we strive to provide for our pupils each and every day. It affirms our belief that every child deserves the very best education and it is a testament to our collective efforts in making that belief a reality.
I want to congratulate our pupils for their hard work, enthusiasm and willingness to embrace learning; their achievements and accomplishments are at the heart of everything we do and it is their resilience and determination that make our school such a special place to be.
I want to express my sincere appreciation to our parents, carers, governors, South Farnham Educational Trust and the wider community for their ongoing support, encouragement, and collaboration. Their partnership with the school is invaluable, and together, we will continue to ensure that our pupils thrive and flourish.”
