What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
Highlands Primary is a school where pupils thrive. A governor described the school as 'opening up the door to the world, which enables pupils to be well prepared for the next stage of their education'. Pupils benefit from strong relationships with staff. The school core values of respect, resilience, kindness, tolerance and self-confidence are visible in every corner and woven throughout the curriculum. The school has very high expectations of its pupils, and pupils strive hard to meet them. Across the school, pupils achieve very well. The school provides a rich and diverse set of personal development opportunities for all pupils. Pupils attend clubs for sports, reading and films to name a few. Student leaders also run clubs during school time and after school. All pupils learn to play a brass musical instrument and regularly take part in singing. Pupils perform regularly at the Hull Minster. The school supports pupils to develop a strong personal character very effectively. The school organises well-planned experiences to enhance pupils' learning. These include outings to various museums and places of interest. For example, pupils learn about the Stone Age through a visit to Creswell Crags. This allows pupils to make links to their learning in the classroom and deepen their understanding of the key knowledge. Pupils are exceptionally well behaved and show kindness and respect for their fellow pupils and school staff. Staff help pupils to understand the importance of concepts such as empathy and kindness to all. This helps the school to be a happy and caring place.
