Oak Rowan Willow

Highlands School is a comprehensive school in Grange Park, Enfield, London, England. The school opened in 2000 in new purpose-built accommodation. From September 2006 the school has been full with pupils from Years 7 - 13 including a large sixth form.

Houses

Highlands School has four houses, Willow, Beech, Oak and Rowan. The students wear a dark green uniform with a dark green tie that has stripes of white.

International Baccalaureate

It has been an International Baccalaureate World School since December 2004, and sixth form students may take the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) instead of A-level examinations. Since the sixth form opened in September 2005, the first year of IB students took their exams in 2007, and 55% failed. Seven students were disqualified for alleged malpractice. Bruce Goddard, the headteacher at the time, was quoted as saying, "In some cases we are currently lodging appeals against this." The school has since decided to drop the IB and switch to A-levels.

BTEC

Highlands also offers a variety of BTEC courses, all of which are fully coursework (both practical and written) and include BTEC Media and Business Studies. Unlike the IB, Highlands has decided to continue this course.

OFSTED

Highlands has received two OFSTED Outstanding Ratings: One in 2011 and one in 2014.
