Howden is a small 11-16 school serving its community in the East Riding, with just over 700 students on roll. As part of The Consortium Academy Trust, we are ambitious about the future – creating learning environments and excellence in teaching and learning that provide our children and young people with the best chance at a successful future.
At Howden we set and maintain high standards and expectations in terms of teaching, aspirations, behaviour and appearance. We believe that all young people have a right to a high-quality educational experience, which provides the appropriate conditions for learning and helps them to achieve their full potential.

Celebrating our Maths stars of the week
Well done to the students who have really impressed their English teachers this week!
Thank You For Attending Our Open Evening
Amazing work, Sam! Well done
Next week is Cycle to School Week 2026. To make the most of this extended summer, our Active Travel Ambassadors are encouraging as many students to come to school on their bikes as possible! Each day we'll be attaching one of our 'Golden Locks' to bikes at random that are stored in our school bike sheds. If you find a lock at the end of the day, take it to reception to claim your prize. Let's get Howden moving!
Launching Monday 5 October until the end of Half Term 1. Back by popular demand
