High View School

📚 Last week, our school was transformed into a literary wonderland for World Book Day! ✨ The children absolutely came alive, stepping into the pages of their favourite stories and bringing characters to life in the most creative ways. 🎭

The costumes were absolutely spectacular—from classic characters to imaginative interpretations, every single child showed up with such enthusiasm and effort. 📖 It was pure magic watching them embody their literary heroes and heroines! 🌟

This exciting event is coming up on Tuesday 17th February. What a great opportunity to get involved and be part of the wonderful Efford community!

‘Happy New Year’ to all of our wonderful High View families!

We hope you have all have an amazing festive period and enjoyed some time with your loved ones.

Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, but we can’t wait to see the children back in school on Tuesday 6th January!

A wonderful group of our Year 6 Play Leaders represented High View this afternoon at the Leadership Academy Conference 2025.
Already, this group of children have received some quality Play Leaders training and this afternoon, they furthered these skills alongside some of the City’s most promising young leaders from Community Colleges across the city.
Well done to our future leaders, you conducted yourselves superbly and demonstrated every one of the PSSP values: Respect, Determination, Passion, Teamwork, Honesty and Self-belief.

Year 1/2 had two exciting events last week. A wonderful trip to Efford library to have stories read to us by the amazing team AND an important Road Safety assembly. One of our school rules is always safe so this was great to know the children have the knowledge to be safe on the roads. Thanks to and for allowing us to take part.

Children in Foundation enjoyed their first of many visits to Efford library today for some Christmas stories with Kim. They loved the story ‘Oh, Christmas Tree’ about a tree that didn’t like being decorated for Christmas!

The children were so excited and inspired that they came straight back to school and started drawing Christmas trees!

We certainly all felt in the festive spirit when we got back to school! 🎄🧑🏼‍🎄

We are nearly at the end of our ‘The Enormous Turnip’ 🫜 learning in Foundation Stage 2 and what a great time we have had!

Big thanks to the for giving the children the opportunity to ‘Bling their bikes, scooters and helmets’ on Tuesday. The children loved the reflective stickers and some were lucky enough to get free lights and locks! Look out for more information about the next event after Christmas!

Just a reminder that today is the launch of our Anti-bullying Week 2025.
Day 1 = Odd Socks Day!
We welcome children to wear odd socks as an expression of individuality and a celebration of the fact that we are all different and unique.

Last week in Film and Drama club our wonderful team made some fabulous claymation stop motion videos. They’ve really enjoyed learning this new skill! Very impressive all round!

On Thursday 6th November our Military Kids Club (MKC Heroes) had the honour of representing the school and their families at Efford Remembrance Service. The children, who all have family members in the armed forces, met with service veterans, read a poem and laid a wreath as a sign of respect and remembrance for those who have lost their lives. We are incredibly proud of them for showing such kindness and appreciation to those who protect our country.
