Highcliffe Primary School is part of the Lionheart Educational Trust. The Trust is a renowned family of seventeen schools based in and Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

We strive to provide the highest quality education in each of our unique schools, raising the attainment of our talented students and reflecting the local communities of which they are a part.

The foundation of our Trust is built on a perfect balance of Academic Excellence and Holistic Development. We realise the importance of delivering quality first teaching; developing well-rounded young people and preparing them for life beyond education. We’re always looking forward and believe our students should be too.

By being forward-thinking, we ultimately aim to break barriers between all of our students and their successes. We believe that every young person, no matter their background, has an equal right to an equal education. We hope that this pupil-centred approach is clear as you navigate through our website.

Our schools have excellent dedicated staff, children that are keen to learn and parents who want the best for their children. The school is central to the community and have a very positive ‘child centred’ ethos.

Highcliffe provides a supportive environment, where every member of our community is supported and challenged to be the best that they can be. You would have the advantage of outstanding CPD provision including supportive line management, where staff wellbeing is a priority.
