Highfields has received a Music Mark to honour the commitment it shows to providing students with high quality music education.
The school was nominated to receive the honour by Wolverhampton Music Service for the 2020/21 academic year.
Music Mark is the UK Association for Music Education, which champions and supports access to music for all children and young people.
As a Music Mark school, Highfields now has access to a wealth of additional resources to support its musical curriculum, as well as the opportunity to attend events and online conferences.
Headteacher Mr G Tate said: “We are really pleased that our commitment to the arts, and particularly music, has been recognised by this national mark.
“We offer a broad and balanced curriculum and recognise the importance of providing opportunities for students to embrace their enjoyment of music and nurture their talents.”
As well as a broad music curriculum, the school offers many extra-curricular musical opportunities for students, including orchestra, choir, individual instrument tutoring and bands. Students are also given the chance to showcase their musical talents in numerous live performances both in school and out in the community.
