HIGHCLIFFE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL

I believe that it is our responsibilty to make a positive difference to the future life chances of each and every person. Highcliffe is a very successful school and we can all be proud of our students and their achievements in a wide range of fields. We blend together the traditional values with an enthusiasm to meet the opportunities of the 21st Century. We "aim high" and provide an impressive variety of curricular- and extended-curricular programmes where students will be encouraged to realise their talents and interests, building confidence and self-esteem.

To enable them to thrive with their future roles as students, citizens, workers, lifelong learners and parents, we aim to equip our students with the transferable skills, knowledge and attitudes that they will need in the future. We are sure that you, as parents, are delighted that our Sixth Form, which is part of the Christchurch Sixth Form, offers continuity, yet broadens horizons, as our young people develop and flourish into adulthood.

We are pleased to share with you that Highcliffe has recently been awarded Specialist School Status. This was won against stiff competition and with hard work and commitment of everyone here at Highcliffe. From september 2000 our Language College programme will provide enhanced resources, facilities and opportunities locally, nationally and internationally for our students and the community.
