The U13B's and C's remain unbeaten as do the U12A's and B's and U10A's and B's.

The last fixture of the term was against St Edmund's which resulted in wins for all Highfield teams with no team conceding a try.

 

Cross Country: The School won The Handcross Park Invitation (U9-U13's boys and girls) for the sixth year running and The U13 girls have won The English Schools Regional Round and Regional Final, The District Championships, The Hampshire Schools Championships and came 3rd in The National Championships.

 

Swimming: The squad have won Gala's against Cranleigh and Windlesham and drawn with St Swithun's.

 

 

At Highfield we celebrate our achievements but we do not take winning as the only criteria, far from it! Some of the bigger year groups, especially amongst the girls have to use a rotational system, so that all the children get a chance to represent the school as there are not many schools on our circuit able to put out as many teams as us. To combat this we often play against a number of schools on a single day and regularly our B & C teams might be playing another school's A or B team. This might seem unfair, but it does enable our children to experience playing in fixtures and the desired end result is their personal development, not simply victory for Highfield.
