Highbury is a specialist school for children aged between 4-11, all of whom have special educational needs. Highbury is an outstanding school which prides itself on the quality and range of education provided to the exceptional children who attend.

The school has a fantastic outdoor provision which the children know as ‘Garden School’. The garden school is used by all the children across school to support the delivery of exciting lessons.

The garden school is a significant and important part of school life at Highbury School and is an area of the school we are really proud of. The garden school has grown in size and scope over the years. In addition to planting areas (including a polytunnel), there is an outdoor classroom, mud kitchen, music stage, various habitat houses, den making areas, climbing areas and a pond. We are looking to appoint a skilled and dedicated individual to help us to maintain the space in terms of access, health and safety and to also advise and guide teachers in the growing of various plants (ornamental and edible), get involved in working with children and assist in the use and selling of products.
