Highfields Mourns the Loss of Beloved Colleague

Yesterday we celebrated the life of our much loved and sadly missed friend and colleague, Mrs Sue Moore.

It’s hard to put into words just how much Sue will be missed by all of us at Highfields. She had such a positive character, saw the best in everyone and was so passionate about working with and supporting young people.

There are hundreds of Highfields students who have benefitted from her care, encouragement and guidance over the last 12 years.

Sue was such an integral part of the Teaching Assistant team and of the Innovations Learning School. She would do anything for anyone and had such a can-do attitude. She always said what she thought and there was no messing about - you knew where you stood whether you were a student or a member of staff! She just made everybody’s life that little bit better.

As part of her role, Sue spent many years in Construction, inspiring generations of future builders and had recently devoted her time to making the Gardening Club such a success.

Over the coming weeks we will be thinking carefully about how we best remember and celebrate Sue’s life. We will miss her and count ourselves fortunate to have known such a remarkable person who has contributed so much to the lives of colleagues and young people at Highfields.
