Welcome to The Howard School
Thank you for your interest in The Howard School at what I think is a very exciting time to be part of the school’s community. As part of The Howard Academy Trust, we are committed to a shared moral purpose; to make a positive difference to the lives of the young people in our community.
About Us
The Howard School is a highly inclusive school community where every individual matters. High levels of discipline ensure everyone is expected to work hard and make a positive contribution to the learning environment. The school has been recognised as a Rights Respecting School at Gold Level by UNICEF, the only secondary school in Kent or Medway to receive such an award.
A "Good" School
"Pupils enjoy school and feel valued. The school is inclusive with a real sense of community. Relationships between pupils, and between pupils and staff, are a real strength."

Great day in Ypres today. Tyne Cot cemetery visited and a wreath from 2 Howard students laid at the Menin Gate after the 8pm Last Post buglers. Respects solemnly paid. https://t.co/RFHcwG9aVl
Our year 9 students safely arrived in Ypres today on their History residential and are pictured here at the Hooge Crater Museum. Students are standing on a German trench system where the Germans stayed, on high ground, for 2 years so they could defend any attack from the allies.
Was lovely to welcome you back.
