OFSTED RATES HIGH BEECHES OUTSTANDING - July 2023

We are delighted to be able to announce that High Beeches has been judged outstanding in its recent OFSTED inspection.  We were the first primary school in Harpenden to be awarded the outstanding grade since the current more rigorous OFSTED inspection framework came into force in May 2019.

The report notes the strong family atmosphere at the school and states that pupils learn and behave exceptionally well, and are highly engaged in lessons, and that the youngest children get off to an exceptionally good start. This is attributed to high quality planning and expert teaching by skilful teachers and teaching assistants.

The full inspection report can be found here, and you can read about the school in the Herts Advertiser here and in the St Albans Times here.

Headteacher's Welcome   On behalf of the whole school community, I am delighted to introduce you to High Beeches Primary School. High Beeches is a welcoming and friendly school where everybody is valued. We believe that every member of our learning community, whether adult or child, is important. We aim to provide an exciting and stimulating learning environment which encourages self-discipline, is caring, happy and challenging; where everyone is encouraged to develop their strengths and interests in order to achieve their personal best.

The aim of this site is to give an insight into how we approach the education of our children. It outlines our vision and aims, also providing information on the curriculum and day to day aspects of the school.

If you would like to learn more about our school, please telephone for an appointment. We would be pleased to show you around or answer any questions that you may have.  We look forward to meeting you.
