Our Community

We are proud to have a diverse and strong community at Highgate Wood School. Students are encouraged to follow our established vales of the 4Cs: Courtesy, Consideration, Contribution and Cooperation. Our students are proactive in making a positive change and helping out globally and within the community.

These are all qualities that help us thrive, individually and collectively, be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve.

Exam Results

Students at Highgate Wood School are continuing to make good progress and we are delighted by their successes at A Level this year - the first year of "normal" public examinations since the pandemic and the first public examinations sat by our Year 13 students. See below for details of GCSE and A level results achieved by our students in earlier years.
