WHAT. A. DAY. On the last day of term, we celebrated our incredible 100% Club... and wow, did our students deliver! Over 300 students earned their place – a phenomenal achievement and something we are so proud of as a school community The day itself was packed with energy, laughter and unforgettable moments: Bungee run battles Axe throwing challenges Assault course races Inflatables everywhere! But what made the day truly special wasn't just the activities... it was our students The team running the inflatables could not have been more complimentary. They told us they travel all over the country working in schools – and they have never met a friendlier, more respectful group of young people. That says everything You represented the school with pride, positivity and brilliant character from start to finish – exactly what the 100% Club is all about A huge well done to every single one of you. You've set the standard. Now let's see even more students rise to it next term

A really important day here at The Howard School On the last day of term, we were proud to welcome Minister of State for Crime, Policing and Fire, Sarah Jones, alongside our local MP Naushabah Khan, to spend time with our students They were joined by Martin Cosser from Charlie's Promise and Stuart and Josh from Virtual Decisions, working with our students around the important topic of knife crime Our students also took part in a powerful VR experience delivered by Virtual Decisions, helping them to better understand the real-life consequences and impact of knife crime. We were also joined on the day by reporters from the BBC and local news outlets. Our students were absolutely incredible speaking with confidence, maturity and real insight when discussing such an important issue We could not be prouder of how they represented the school Now, here's the key message... At The Howard School, this is not something we are seeing within our student body Our strong relationships, open culture and robust safeguarding systems mean our students feel safe, heard and supported every single day BUT... we know this is a real issue in society And that's why we don't sit back we get ahead of it Anonymous "Tell Us" reporting system Regular student voice and surveys Staff trained to spot and act early Dedicated Police Officer on site each week Strong partnerships with external agencies This is what being proactive looks like Our students engaged brilliantly throughout asking questions, listening carefully and showing real maturity This is exactly what Personal Development looks like at The Howard School Not reacting... but leading. We're incredibly proud of our students and the culture we've built together

Year 12 Take on Cambridge! Earlier this week, our brilliant Year 12 RE students headed to Cambridge for an inspiring day of lectures on Philosophy & Ethics From exploring arguments for the existence of God to diving into Aristotle's Virtue Theory and tackling big ideas like scepticism our students fully immersed themselves in every session! What impressed us most? Despite the early start , students were engaged, curious, and confident, contributing thoughtfully to discussions throughout the day The experience also gave students a real insight into what studying at university is like, with lecturers sharing different course options and what makes Cambridge so unique For many, this trip has sparked (or strengthened!) ambitions for higher education and we couldn't be prouder of the maturity, curiosity, and enthusiasm shown by every single student
