Itβs thatβs time of year again when we say farewell to legendary pupils in Form Six, our amazing role models & mentors @HighfieldsNG24 We wish them the happiest of summer hols before they transition to their new senior schools who, by the way, are VERY lucky to have them!
The prominent Newark Quibell family to whom our school owes so much including itβs beautiful Prep building Highfield House, and grounds have a fascinating history. Initially in farming,they diversified into sheep dip, glue,disinfectant and later were druggists. @HighfieldsNG24
Another one from the archives! This is a picture of the day when the then new honours board at Highfields was unveiled by Squadron Leader George βJohnnyβ Johnson with pupils 11-year-olds Joe Rose and Frankie Lightfoot. What a special day @HighfieldsNG24 β€οΈ
Nothing more beautiful than our gorgeous redwoods @HighfieldsNG24 Sadly we lost one of our oldest trees but we had its trunk carved to enable a new lease of life. We hope you love our Highfields swans designed by a βnot so oldβ Old Highfeldian, Sirya Sarath. #EarthDay
Everyone at @HighfieldsNG24 wishes Her Majesty the Queen a very happy 96th birthday today. We sang the National Anthem before lessons began this morning. A very special day #QueensBirthday#RoyalFamily

One of the earliest pictures of @HighfieldsNG24 or βSheldrakesβ as it was originally known, 75 years ago, which weβve recently had colourised. Does anyone recognise any of these those dear little faces..? #NewarkNotts#History
