Highsted Grammar School, Sittingbourne, Kent

What does Ofsted say about our school?

"Highsted Grammar School provides an outstanding standard of education and care."

“The school is very inclusive and there is a strong focus on encouraging both academic achievement and personal development of all learners.

“Learners feel extremely safe and well cared for and say that their teachers know them well and give them excellent guidance and support.”

Welcome to our school. Through these pages we hope to offer you a snapshot of the many activities that together make up our school community. As a grammar school we are proud to build on traditional values and standards to prepare our students for their future in a highly technological society.

From our students, we expect the highest standards of personal conduct, the best possible academic performance and a real commitment to the wider life of the school. In return, we will help each individual to develop their talents to the full by working in partnership with parents, by providing a stimulating yet demanding approach to teaching and learning, and by presenting challenging opportunities through a wealth of enrichment activities beyond the classroom.

In other words, we aim to provide young women and, in the Sixth Form, young men with the skills and qualities they need to serve society and the international community. We expect our students to leave school fully equipped for the next stage in their education; to be confident, positive and creative in their outlook on life; and to be at ease with themselves and others.
