Highbury Fields School (formerly Highbury Hill High School) is a secondary school for girls and coeducational sixth form, located next to Highbury Fields in the Highbury area of the London Borough of Islington, England.[1]
The School has specialisms in Science and Mathematics, and is also a Leading Edge Partnership school.[2]
Highbury Fields School offers GCSEs as programmes of study for pupils.[3] Students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels which are provided as part of the Islington Sixth Form Consortium (iC6).[4]
The school is credited with being a successor institution to the educational ideas introduced to England by Charles and Elizabeth Mayo at the school on Grey's Inn Road.[5]
It was the former Highbury Hill School, a girls' grammar school. During the war, it evacuated to Huntingdon Grammar school, now Hinchingbrooke School.
It became a comprehensive in 1981. Today it is a community school administered by Islington London Borough Council.[6]
