About Highfield Primary School

Parents considering Highfield Primary School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 235 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.92, meaning nearly four families applied for every spot. Of those, 48 first-preference offers were made from 49 first-preference applications, so almost every family who put it top got in, but competition remains fierce. The school is led by headteacher Jonathan Feeley and currently has 421 pupils on roll, just one over its official capacity of 420. It is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 6.4%, well below the national average, which may reflect the profile of families drawn to the area.
