Highfield Ely Academy

At Highfield Ely we value each and every one of our children as individuals and everything we do is designed to lead to the best possible outcomes for every student. We teach our pupils to celebrate every success and foster a genuine love of learning and participation. British values are taught explicitly but, more importantly, they are modelled by each member of staff all day, every day. This is a vibrant learning community which has its pupils at the centre of all that it does. The school has earned an excellent reputation in the local community and across Cambridgeshire. We strive to continuously develop our provision for our learners and work collaboratively with other professionals and parents in developing flexible programmes of learning. We prepare our pupils well for the next step, whether that is within our school or in preparation for further education or adult life.
