and the school plays a key role in the life of the local
community. We have a small but well-established
team of caring, dedicated and experienced staff who
share a commitment to secure the best possible
outcomes for each and every one of our children.
Here at High Green we recognise that education is
the development of the whole child, and we aim to
support our young people in becoming skilled,

broad curriculum we offer a wide range of musical,
sporting and residential opportunities to help our
children achieve future success. Through
imagination and inspiration, challenge and
creativity, our children will become the visionaries

As a ‘Woodland School’ we value outdoor learning
and active breaks, not only to promote our
children’s imagination and creativity but to also
support their mental health and wellbeing. We have
a range of outdoor spaces, all of which play an
integral role in the delivery of our curriculum.

• Have the passion and resilience to guide
High Green over the coming years to
support all our children in developing the
skills and knowledge they need for their
successful future
• Collaborate effectively with the governing

strategic vision that drives the school's
growth and success
• Ensure the school continues to support and
promote the safety and wellbeing of both
our children and staff
• Share our commitment to inclusivity;
generate innovative solutions to ensure
equality of opportunities; and celebrate the
contribution of all our children to the
school community
• Recognise and build upon High Green’s
existing achievements, sharing the school’s
investment in outdoor learning and
environmental sustainability
• Quickly establish trust, respect and
credibility with staff, children and parents
alike
