Message from the Headmaster
Although Highbury is 107 years old, it is a school for and about the future. With roots that provide us with an essential contact with the past, its people, its history and its values, we are proud, too, to have developed a dynamic, cutting-edge, stretch philosophy that has created a reach for the sky approach to all that happens in this centre of primary learning. Highbury is fundamentally about child-centred teaching and skills-based, 21 st Century learning. We count it a real privilege to be in the business of moulding lives. Mr Richard Stanley
