Community Spirit Shines as Enhanced Play Facilities Leave Lasting Legacy at Highfield
Through the generous donations of the school’s parents and friends association, Highfield Prep School has opened enhanced play facilities in conjunction with its 25th anniversary celebrations.
Chair of HLC Friends, Hannah Luck, Head of Highfield, James Savile, Principal, of Harrogate Ladies’ College, Joanna Fox and Highfield Prep School pupils.
The outdoor equipment provides pupils of all ages to improve their balance and coordination, the undercover quiet area is a multi-purpose space which fosters creativity through reading, socialising and engagement.
These enhanced facilities are making a major difference to our entire community. The fundraising efforts of HLC Friends have been nothing short of remarkable, and they have delivered our community with something very special in our 25th year.

The brand-new facilities, which feature an outdoor playground and climbing wall, an undercover quiet zone and enhanced football/netball facilities are the direct result of fundraising efforts by HLC Friends, the parents and friends association of the Harrogate Ladies’ College family of schools.
The major fundraising event for the project was the 25th Anniversary Ball, which was recently held at the Majestic Hotel. HLC Friends host a number of events throughout the year to raise funds for the school community.
The new playground for Highfield has given our children a diverse and engaging space for outdoor breaks. HLC Friends is very proud to have been able to support this project and grateful to all of the parents and friends in our community who generously contributed towards it.

Highfield also welcomed Harrogate Town AFC mascot, Harry Gator, to the opening, as part of their community foundation’s ongoing commitment to fostering strong, safe and active communities and maintaining a healthy, happy and connected Harrogate and District.
