About Highfield Humanities College

Highfield Humanities is a co-educational comprehensive school with Specialist School status.   There are approximately 1100 students aged between 11 and 16.   The school opened in 1933, and serves a wide residential area that includes both private and local authority housing.   Our guiding principle is for every student to succeed.  We strive for academic excellence by providing opportunities suitable for each individual.  We aim to provide a lively and friendly atmosphere.  A wide range of academic and extra curricular opportunities encourage involvement and the development of skills and talents.  A committed team of well qualified teachers, supported by dedicated associate staff, will promote the values and ethos essential for a Humanities College.

We uphold traditional standards of discipline, dress, courtesy and good manners and attempt to provide a supportive and caring environment in which each student can develop self-discipline and self-reliance.  There are many opportunities for students to develop their talents.

In September 2012 we moved into our new school. The school has a different design both physically and educationally. The building is around a number of Learning Zones. The school is designed to provide an environment that allows flexibility of learning and organisational arrangements that respond to the needs of individuals and groups of pupils.

The philosophy of one size does not fit all has resulted in a school with a variety of spaces that lets teachers teach in the way that gets the best learning outcomes for all pupils.

A range of teaching methods is no longer limited by the size, shape and organisation of the rooms, the timetabled slots and the ICT. The development of the school provides opportunity to widen the range of teaching methods and learning opportunities.  The school is organised in Learning Zones. Each zone is a destination; there are no corridors.

The Learning Zone is made up of:

Two small spaces (one to one work group size 1 or 2) Two small spaces (small group work up to 6 approx.) Two Inspiration Hubs (flexible space group size up to 60 approx.) One Learning Studio (large space with water and electricity; group size up to 30 approx.) One Learning Studio (ICT) Four Generic Learning spaces (group size up to 30 approx.)?and Two Learning Seminars (group size up to 16 approx.).

The Learning Zones are designed to accommodate approximately 300 pupils at any one time. The organisation of the zone means that within a block of time the pupils can be grouped in different ways to match the learning to the pupils as well as the spaces themselves.

The way in which the zones are linked to the curriculum areas are:

2nd Floor -?Languages and Communication, Humanities?Specialist and Art

1st Floor - (essentially STEM related learning) Science and Technology (Specialist Areas) Mathematics and ICT

Ground Floor -?Expressive Arts and Technology (Specialist Areas) and Additional Needs (inc SEND).
