We live in a climate where, more than ever, children need to be given the confidence to feel empowered to appropriately voice and act on their concerns; creating meaningful and desirable change. At High View, through the development of pupil voice groups and powerful learning behaviours, children are supported in identifying and addressing their personal needs and ambitions, as well as identifying and addressing the needs of the local and global community.

Here we recognise the deep importance of developing the whole child. Each child is supported and challenged by skilled teaching staff, striving for each child to realise their full potential. Our goal is to prepare children for the next step of their life’s journey. This may mean overcoming and celebrating challenges from hour to hour, from week to week or from year to year and beyond.

Through excellent and innovative teaching, every child is given fertile ground to strive for academic excellence at High View; this is a cornerstone of our practise. From their starting points, we strive for every pupil to make excellent progress. All staff have high standards and high expectations - aiming to develop each pupil’s essential skills and knowledge throughout the curriculum.

Although children achieving excellence in subjects such as reading, writing and maths is essential, we recognise that this alone is not enough to thrive in today’s society. As a famous entrepreneur once said ‘the future is not what it used to be’. For this reason High View strives to prepare children for the future ahead of them, whatever it may be. Through our SET Powers initiative children develop key attitudes and skills such as perseverance, respect, belonging and creativity. Each of the SET Powers prepares our children for today’s challenges, as well as future challenges.

We are developing a dynamic and engaging curriculum where children are stretched, intrigued and motivated to succeed. Our Discovery Curriculum and investment in new technologies, allows children to learn through exploration and enquiry. Our children are empowered to ask questions in order to move their learning forward. We are pleased that Music, Spanish, sports and outdoor learning are being further developed within the curriculum. Enrichment activities, such as chess club, arts and crafts, choir and additional sports clubs are available for all.

High View is an ambitious school, with aspirational parents and children. It is our ambition that all of our children transition from year six being high school/secondary school ready; whether they transition to grammar, private, state schools or otherwise.

We enjoy the challenge of best preparing our children for their future… even if ‘the future is not what it used to be’.

Head Teacher

High View Primary School opened in 1932. It is situated in the east of the London Borough of Sutton.

There are fourteen classes (two per year group) plus a Nursery. Children are taught in mixed ability classes of approximately 30.

As well as classrooms, the building houses a multi-purpose hall equipped for gymnastics, a music & drama studio and we have an outside green area where pupils can take part in forest school. All classrooms are linked to the computer network.

The school has its own playing fields at Sheen Way and swimming is taught at a local swimming pool.

There is also a portakabin which the school shares with Orchard Childcare.

Our Vision

High View provides an exciting and memorable journey, where each child thrives and becomes the greatest version of themselves. Our children discover and develop knowledge, talents and skills; creating a positive and lifelong impact.

Our Mission

Children are consistently engaged in purposeful and exciting learning; giving them the knowledge and values needed to thrive in the world we live in today and the world they will create in the future.

Our Aim

Through broad, balanced and diverse opportunities, our school values are instilled within each child and throughout our school community.

Our Values

• Responsibility - we do what is right. We learn from achievement and we learn from mistakes; taking ownership of our actions.

• Creativity - we use our imagination creatively, every day.
• Curiosity - we ask questions knowing there may be many answers, or no answer at all.
