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.
