Hiring of our Facilities
Our school facilities are available for hire through an external provider, School Space. All bookings and enquiries should be made directly via their platform at https://school-space.org/, as they manage availability, pricing, and scheduling on our behalf. To view the range of rooms and spaces available to hire, please visit our dedicated page at https://school-space.org/school/hln-higham-lane-north-academy. Please note that our playing fields are currently unavailable for hire but are expected to be available from September 2026, subject to final approval. Additionally, school events and activities will always take priority over external lettings, and availability may be subject to change accordingly.
