About Highfield Nursery School

Highfield Nursery School sits within Birmingham local authority, one of 27 state nursery schools in the area. Of those, 17 hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, including Adderley Nursery School just one kilometre away. Highfield itself was rated Outstanding at its last graded inspection in 2014, but its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2023 judged the school as Good overall and noted it is improving. The school is led by headteacher Sharon Lewis and caters for children aged 0 to 5, with 159 pupils on roll. Just over 23 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals, which is a useful indicator of the school's inclusive intake. The school's facilities include a Forest School, a Sensory Room, art studios and a chapel, and it offers dance as a sporting activity alongside an Eco Club.
