From wild meadows and meat free Mondays to Fast Fashion Free February and Walk and Talk to school days (to reduce carbon emissions), Highgate has a strong focus on sustainability. There are numerous opportunities for our pupils to take part in projects that are dedicated to this cause. Our pupil-led Environment Committee hosts regular meeting and events to put the reduction of carbon footprint top of the agenda.

As you move up the school there are more exciting sporting opportunities, from climbing and duke of Edinburgh expeditions to rowing and water polo. In the Senior School we are lucky enough to have our own indoor pool, an all-weather pitch which houses 12 courts for netball, football, hockey and 6 cricket nets! We have 32 specialist sports coaches teaching 22 different sporting pathways, so whether you like fast paced team sports or yoga, we have something for everyone.

Highgate’s Design, Technology and Engineering Department spans throughout the curriculum from KS1-5. All the content of the DTE curriculum is linked to context, the outside world and is interdisciplinary in nature. We help students become creative problem solvers as an individual and as a member of a team, by equipping them with transferable hard and soft skills. All of this is amplified by utilising state of the art workshops, robotic equipment, enrichment outside of the classroom and exclusive industry visits and encouraging both girls and boys to compete in international STEM competitions.

Creative arts are an exciting subject area at Highgate. We run drama at GCSE and A level and offer a series of clubs for those who like to supplement their studies or pursue the stage as a co-curricular interest. From Technical Theatre Club and Theatre Studies Enrichment to Film Society and our annual French play, we have exciting facilities and opportunities for all those who like to perform.
