STRANGER SAGAS – YOUNG WRITERS Last week, students in 7W1 and 7W2 took part in the exciting Stranger Sagas Young Writers competition and the creativity on display was absolutely brilliant! Inspired by mysterious worlds, strange encounters and imaginative storytelling , our students put pen to paper to create their own thrilling short stories. From eerie forests to unexpected twists, the ideas were fantastic and it was amazing to see so many students fully embracing their creativity! Competitions like this are a brilliant opportunity for students to develop their writing skills, explore their imagination and share their ideas with a wider audience . Even better, some stories may be selected for publication in a real book! There are also some incredible prizes up for grabs... Top young writers could win £100 Amazon vouchers and trophies The top school could receive a £1000 Amazon voucher and Young Writers' Award of Excellence A huge well done to all of our students who took part we are incredibly proud of the creativity, effort and enthusiasm shown! Take a look at these photos of 7W1 and 7W2 in action last week as they worked on their Stranger Sagas stories! Good luck to everyone who entered we can't wait to see what happens next!

Another brilliant evening at The Howard School! Last night it was the turn of our fantastic Year 10 students and their families for Parents' Evening and what a great evening it was! It was brilliant to see so many parents and carers in school, chatting with teachers, celebrating progress and talking about the exciting journey ahead as Year 10 continues towards their GCSEs. A massive thank you to everyone who came along and took the time to meet with staff. Your support, encouragement and partnership with the school makes a huge difference to our students and their success. We were also blown away by the response to our parent survey on the night... the results were incredible! Every single response said they would recommend The Howard School with just one "maybe"... don't worry, we'll win you over soon! It means the world to our staff to see such positive feedback and to know that our community continues to support the work happening in school every single day. Thank you again to all of our parents and carers for being such an important part of our school community. Your support, encouragement and belief in what we do really does make all the difference.

¡Hola Howard! What a flavour-filled lunchtime we had this week! This week we were delighted to welcome a Concept Chef into our brilliant canteen team to bring something a little different to lunchtime... a Mexican-inspired feast for our students! The canteen was buzzing as students tucked into an incredible range of dishes – from loaded burritos and crunchy tacos to plenty of other delicious options in between! The vibrant flavours, fresh ingredients and colourful presentation made it a lunchtime to remember, and it was fantastic to see so many students enjoying the experience. Events like this are a great way to mix up the menu, introduce new flavours and give students something exciting to look forward to at lunchtime. Food is such an important part of the school day, and it was brilliant to see our dining hall full of smiling faces and empty plates! A huge thank you to our hardworking canteen team and our visiting Concept Chef for putting together such a fantastic spread and making the lunchtime experience extra special for our students. We love bringing new ideas and experiences into school life here at The Howard, and judging by the reaction from students... we think this one was a big hit!
